What is the 686 area code?
Area code 686 is the newest identifier for Virginia’s historic capital and its high-growth corporate and logistics corridor. Serving as the overlay for the 804 area, it connects businesses to the state’s political heart in Richmond and the affluent suburban rings of Henrico and Chesterfield. For any enterprise, a 686 number signals a modern, tech-ready presence in a market of over 1.2 million residents. It allows companies to establish local credibility in a city known for its financial services and Fortune 500 density while providing long-term numbering availability.

Facts about this Area Code:
Future Overlay: Designated to support the exhausted 804 numbering plan.
Capital Reach: Will serve Richmond, the seat of Virginia’s government.
Logistics Power: Primary prefix for a major East Coast transport and distribution hub.
Implementation: Scheduled to take effect as numbers in 804 are depleted (Est. 2024-2025).

Why your business needs a 686 number
Build a future local presence in Virginia’s capital and corporate gateway.
Establish a Local Presence
A 686 number signals you are part of the local community and the central Virginia landscape, providing the identity needed to compete with established Southern firms. By adopting this prefix, you show residents in Richmond and its high-growth suburbs that you are a committed stakeholder in the region. This local rooting is essential for winning trust and building the lasting professional relationships required in this hardworking and community-oriented market.
Boost Trust & Answer Rates
Using a local area code fosters trust and significantly increases your connection rates. Residents and local businesses in the Richmond area are naturally more inclined to answer calls from recognized local numbers rather than unknown out-of-state prefixes or toll-free lines. This immediate recognition reduces skepticism, allowing your team to have more meaningful conversations, improve customer service, and convert leads more effectively within the region without being dismissed by busy professionals.
Look Professional
As the newest area code for the state's capital, the 686 prefix projects an image of growth and modern connectivity. It ensures your brand is perceived as a serious player, standing alongside major regional banks, global logistics giants, and world-class university systems like VCU. Whether you are a small startup or an expanding enterprise, this code elevates your professional profile and commands respect in every outbound communication across Central Virginia.
