What is Area Code 262 and Where is It Coming From?

Area code 262 is a telephone area code serving southeastern Wisconsin. It was created on March 1, 2000, in a three-way split of area code 414. 262 is the last area code created in the United States. The area code includes the city of Milwaukee, and the surrounding suburbs of Brookfield, Cudahy, Franklin, Glendale, Greendale, Greenfield, Hales Corners, Milwaukee, Oak Creek, South Milwaukee, St. Francis, Waukesha, and West Allis.

The 262 area code has been in the news a lot lately because of the proliferation of scammers using the area code to target people in southeastern Wisconsin. The scammers are using fake caller ID information to make it look like the call is coming from someone in the 262 area code.

The best way to protect yourself from these calls is to be aware of the scam and to hang up if you don't recognize the number. You can also block calls from specific area codes on your phone.

What Time Zone Is Area Code 262?

When you're looking to call someone in the 262 area code, you need to know what time zone they're in! This code covers most of southeastern Wisconsin, including Milwaukee and its suburbs.

Are Calls from Area Code 262 a Scam?
