The 505 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New Mexico. Today, 505 is exclusively tied to New Mexico, located at the heart of Albuquerque. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Albuquerque – the bustling heart of the state
Santa Fe – the vibrant, artistic capital
Las Cruces – home to rich culture and heritage
For generations, 505 has represented New Mexico pride, offering the best of state life with fast access to all regions.
The 505 area code operates in the Mountain Time Zone (MT)–the same time zone as New Mexico. 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 505 number means you’re aligned with Mountain Standard Time (MST) in winter and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) in summer.
The 505 area code covers all of New Mexico, including:
Albuquerque
Santa Fe
Las Cruces
and many more.
Getting a 505 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of New Mexico’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
