About
AClookup is a data-driven reference site for US area code information. Our goal is clarity: show what an area code covers, what time zones it typically spans, how overlays and splits affect dialing, and related geographic and demographic context — all sourced from official public datasets.
Our mission
Provide accurate area code information that’s easy to understand and fast to use.
Today the site focuses on US area codes. Over time, we may expand to additional NANP regions such as Canada as data coverage and quality allow.
What we offer
Geographic coverage
States, cities, and regions commonly associated with an area code.
Time zones
Helpful context for scheduling calls across regions, including a live local-time clock.
Overlay & split
Whether an area code shares geography with another (overlay), or replaced another over time (split).
Demographic context
Population and related stats where available, to add practical context beyond a map.
County coverage
County-level coverage summaries (population-weighted) to help explain how an area code maps to real places.
FAQs & call context
Plain-language FAQs and careful call context signals/disclaimers for area codes.
For the quickest way to explore these details, browse the area code directory or check the statistics dashboard for aggregate data.
What we don’t do
- We don’t label callers or numbers as spam/scam or provide verdicts.
- We don’t accept user-generated reports or complaints.
- We don’t provide number-level lookups (this site is about area codes, not individual phone numbers).
Our approach
We aim for correctness and transparency. Pages are designed to be readable, consistent, and stable over time. Where data comes from is documented publicly.
