	'''Area code 775''' is a [[Nevada]] [[telephone]] [[area code]] in the [[North American Numbering Plan]]. It was split from [[area codes 702 and 725\|area code 702]] on December 12, 1998, and it covers the entire state except for [[Clark County, Nevada\|Clark County]], which retained area code 702 after the split. Major cities in this area code include [[Reno]], [[Carson City]], [[Elko, Nevada\|Elko]], and [[Pahrump, Nevada\|Pahrump]].

'''Area code 775''' is a telephone [[NPA code\|area code]] in the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) for the northern part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Nevada]]. The numbering plan area (NPA) was split from [[area code 702]] on December 12, 1998, which had served all of Nevada since 1947. [[Clark County, Nevada\|Clark County]] retained area code 702 after the split.

			Prior to the creation of 775, area code 702 had served all of Nevada for 51 years. The state's growth in the second half of the 20th century and the corresponding growth in telephone service, particularly from the proliferation of cell phones, pagers, and fax machines, in [[Las Vegas]], Reno, and Carson City, threatened exhaustion of numbering resources.

	Prior to October 2021, area code 775 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>		Area code 775 is nowhere near exhaustion.
