The 872 area code was created as a split from the original 312 that once covered all of Chicago. Today, 872 is exclusively tied to Chicago, located at the heart of the city. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Chicago – the bustling heart of the city
Cicero – a vibrant suburban community
Berwyn – known for its rich culture and history
For generations, 872 has represented Chicago pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all neighborhoods.
The 872 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Chicago. 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 872 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The area is primarily urban with a mix of residential and commercial zones.
The 872 area code covers all of Chicago, including:
Chicago
Cicero
Berwyn
and many more.
Getting a 872 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Chicago’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
