The 984 area code was created as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of North Carolina. Today, 984 is exclusively tied to North Carolina, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Durham – a hub of innovation and culture
Chapel Hill – home to the renowned university
Cary – known for its family-friendly atmosphere
For generations, 984 has represented North Carolina pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all areas.
The 984 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone–the same time zone as North Carolina. 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 984 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 984 area code covers all of North Carolina, including:
Durham
Chapel Hill
Cary
and many more.
