Area code 701 covers 300 cities and communities in North Dakota, including Abercrombie, Absaraka, Adams, Alamo, Alexander, and 295 more localities. This is based on telephone company rate center data — the geographic areas carriers use to determine local calling boundaries and to assign numbers when a business or individual requests a phone number in a specific city.
All numbers in the 701 area code observe Central Time (IANA timezone: America/Chicago). Central Time is UTC−6 in winter (CST) and UTC−5 in summer (CDT). When placing a call to a 701 number from a different time zone, check the current local time above to avoid calling outside of business hours.
From within North Dakota, dial the 7-digit local number directly if calling within the same rate center, or dial 1 + 701 + 7-digit number for long-distance calls within North America. From outside the US or Canada, dial your country's international exit code followed by 1 701 XXX XXXX. The country code for both the United States and Canada in NANP is +1.
Format 701 numbers using E.164 notation as required by RFC 3966: prefix with +1 and omit dashes and parentheses (e.g., +17015550100). This format ensures tel: links work correctly on all mobile browsers and VoIP apps. See the tel: URI formatting guide for complete examples.
