The 715 area code serves a broad swath of Wisconsin, including the Eau Claire metro area and the city of Chetek. It is an overlay code that reaches across the northern part of the state.
Chetek operates in the Central Time Zone. Because the 715 area code is used in so many regional hubs, your number will share the same local time and cultural footprint as the rest of northern Wisconsin.
Local residents often report that their personal phone lines are targeted by aggressive telemarketing and unwanted sales calls. People use secondary numbers to shield their primary lines from these frequent disruptions.
