The 508 area code was created in 1988 as a split from the original 508 that once covered all of Massachusetts. Today, 508 is exclusively tied to Bristol County, located in southeastern Massachusetts. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Fall River – known for its rich history and beautiful waterfront
Taunton – the home of a vibrant downtown and parks
New Bedford – famous for its whaling history and artistic community
For generations, 508 has represented Bristol County pride, offering the best of suburban life with fast access to nearby cities.
The 508 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Bristol County. 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 508 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 508 area code covers all of Bristol County, including:
Fall River
Taunton
New Bedford
and many more.
