500 area code summary
Area code 500 is reserved for personal communication services (PCS) rather than any specific geographic area. It was introduced in the 1990s to support services like follow-me numbers, where calls to a single number could be routed to multiple locations. Today, 500 numbers are rarely used and are not associated with traditional business or consumer communications. They are often managed by specialized carriers and are typically avoided by companies looking to build local trust or geographic identity. For most marketing, service, or sales purposes, it’s better to use a standard local or toll-free number. A 500 number might still have niche uses in telecom or routing applications, but it’s not recommended for general public-facing communications.
Fun fact 💡
500 was an early U.S. paging code, active since the 1960s.
