History of Area Code 481
Area code 481 was created in 2019 as a result of a split of area code 612. This split was necessary because the number of phone numbers in the 612 area code was running out. To accommodate the increasing demand for phone numbers, the area code 481 was created.
The split of area code 612 is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). The NANP is a system that is used to assign telephone numbers to people and businesses in the United States, Canada, and some parts of the Caribbean.
The split of area code 612 is the first split of an area code in Minnesota since the introduction of the NANP in 1947.
