'''Area code 409''' is a telephone [[area code]] in the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) for the [[U.S. state]] of [[Texas]]. The numbering plan area comprises the [[Beaumont, Texas|Beaumont]] and [[Galveston, Texas|Galveston]] areas. It was created on March 19, 1983, in an [[split plan|area code split]] of [[area code 713]], the first since [[Area code 619|619]] split from [[area code 714|714]] four months earlier. Initially, it consisted of a horseshoe-shaped area that almost completely surrounded [[Houston]], but in 2000 it was divided into three sections. Area code 409 was retained by the eastern segment, while the central portion, centered on [[Nacogdoches, Texas|Nacogdoches]], received [[area code 936]] and the western portion centered on [[Bryan, Texas|Bryan]]–[[College Station, Texas|College Station]], was assigned [[area code 979]].<br />

==Ten-digit dialing==<br />
Prior to October 2021, area code 409 had telephone numbers assigned for the [[central office code]] 988. In 2020, ''988'' was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the [[National Suicide Prevention Lifeline]], which created a conflict for exchanges that permit [[seven-digit dialing]]. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to [[ten-digit dialing]] by October 24, 2021.<ref name="pl556">{{cite web|url=https://nationalnanpa.com/pdf/PL_556.pdf|date=January 8, 2021|publisher=North American Numbering Plan Administrator |title=Transition to 10-digit dialing (for 988 as 3-digit access to National Suicide Prevention Hotline)|access-date=March 9, 2021}}</ref><br />
