Why choose a North Dakota virtual phone number?
One code, the whole state
Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot, West Fargo, Williston, Dickinson and Mandan all carry the same 701 area code. A 701 number reads as home ground whether you're posting a listing near Fargo or moving out to Williston.
Two time zones, one number
Fargo and Grand Forks run on Central time while Williston and Dickinson sit on Mountain time. A 701 number doesn't care which side of the state you're on, it works the same either way.
Bismarck brings people in for state work
People relocating to Bismarck for a stretch, short or long, can pick up a 701 number before they arrive and start using it right away, without waiting to land and get settled.
Debt relief pitches top the complaint list
Debt relief offers are the most reported unwanted call topic among North Dakota residents. Keeping a second number for online listings and forms keeps that traffic off your main line.
Impersonation calls are close behind
Callers posing as government agencies, businesses or even family members are the second most reported issue in the state. A separate number gives you somewhere to screen that kind of call before it reaches you personally.

North Dakota runs on a single area code, 701, which covers every major city in the state, from Fargo and Grand Forks in the east to Williston and Dickinson in the west, plus Bismarck, Minot, West Fargo and Mandan.
The eastern part of the state, including Fargo, Grand Forks, Bismarck and Minot, sits in the Central time zone, while Williston and Dickinson in the west sit in Mountain time. Because 701 is a single overlay code across the entire state, one number works the same on either side of that line.
Residents across North Dakota mostly report robocalls and recorded messages when they flag unwanted calls to the FTC. The topics that come up most, in order, are debt relief offers, callers impersonating government agencies, businesses or family, silent or dropped calls, and medical or prescription pitches.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get a North Dakota phone number?
You can pick a 701 area code and be calling and texting within minutes of setting up the app.
Does a 701 number work the same in Fargo and Williston?
Yes. Fargo sits in Central time and Williston sits in Mountain time, but 701 covers both, so the number works the same no matter which side of the state you're on.
Will a North Dakota number cut down on unwanted calls?
It won't stop robocalls outright, but it gives you a separate line for listings, forms and dating profiles, which keeps the debt relief and impersonation calls that residents report most off your personal number.
