Overlay System

Area code 505 was originally the sole area code for New Mexico. On October 7, 2007, the state was split, and area code 575 was introduced to serve the rest of New Mexico, with 505 remaining in the northwestern and central parts. Prior to October 24, 2021, the 505 area code transitioned to ten-digit dialing due to the nationwide designation of 988 as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which conflicted with existing central office codes.
