Area code 380 is an overlay for 614 in central Ohio, primarily serving Columbus and its surrounding suburbs. Introduced in 2016 to accommodate growing demand, 380 helps support the booming growth of Columbus, which is now one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest. Columbus is home to state government offices, The Ohio State University, and a growing tech scene that includes major operations for Intel, Amazon, and Nationwide Insurance.
