The 986 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Idaho. Today, 986 is exclusively tied to Idaho, located in cities like Boise, Idaho Falls, and Meridian. It covers iconic neighborhoods in these areas.
Boise – the bustling heart of the state
Idaho Falls – the vibrant, diverse community
Meridian – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 986 has represented Idaho pride, offering the best of state life with fast access to all major cities.
The 986 area code operates in the Mountain Time Zone (MT)–the same time zone as Idaho. 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 986 number means you’re aligned with Mountain Standard Time (MST) in winter and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) in summer.
The 986 area code covers all of Idaho, including:
Boise
Idaho Falls
Meridian
and many more.
Getting a 986 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Idaho’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
