Area code 920

Wisconsin area codes.

North American telephone area code 920 is a state of Wisconsin area code which covers much of eastern Wisconsin. It was created on July 26, 1997, in a split from area code 414. It was designed in honor of Green Bay Packers #92, defensive end Reggie White. 414 had covered the entire eastern third of the state. 920 will eventually be overlaid with area code 274 to bring ten-digit dialing into the area. However, 920 is not predicted to be exhausted until 2032.

A mnemonic device which was used by many in the new area code when it was introduced, was to remember Green Bay Packer Reggie White's jersey number of 92 and then add a zero on the end.[1]
