The 283 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 283 that once covered all of Ohio. Today, 283 is exclusively tied to Ohio, located in cities like Dublin, Westerville, and Columbus. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Dublin – a vibrant suburban city
Columbus – the state capital and bustling metropolis
Westerville – a delightful community with rich culture and history
For generations, 283 has represented Ohio pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all regions.
The 283 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone – the same time zone as Ohio. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 283 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 283 area code covers all of Ohio, including:
Dublin
Columbus
Westerville
and many more.
Getting a 283 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Ohio’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
