City population is shown in full. The share of each city inside 276 is measured from Census tract centroids, not estimated from a rate-center match – so a city split between two codes appears on both, at the fraction each one actually holds. The “% of listed-city population” column uses the full populations of the cities listed here.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 276 Area Code
Who called me from a 276 number?
A 276 number is assigned to Bristol, Virginia, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 276 code to look nearby, so a 276 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 656 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 276 code (61% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.
Is 276 a scam area code?
No area code is a scam on its own. 276 is a normal, officially assigned code for Bristol, Virginia. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 276 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 656 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 276 code (61% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.
Why do I keep getting calls from the 276 area code?
Repeated calls from different 276 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 276 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 656 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 276 code (61% flagged as robocalls). Blocking one number rarely helps; voicemail screening, your carrier spam filter, and the Do Not Call Registry work better.
Should I answer an unknown 276 number?
If you aren't expecting a 276 call, let it ring to voicemail. Legitimate callers leave a message, most robocallers hang up when no one picks up, and answering can mark your number as active and bring more calls.
How do I block calls from the 276 area code?
Block a single 276 number from your recent-calls list (iPhone: tap the number, then Block this Caller; Android: tap the number, then Block or report spam). To cut the volume, turn on Silence Unknown Callers on iPhone or spam protection on Android, enable spam filtering from your carrier, and register at DoNotCall.gov. Blocking the entire 276 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.
Where is area code 276?
Area code 276 covers Bristol and the surrounding area in Virginia, spanning 82 cities with about 453,018 residents. No other code overlays this region, so 276 alone identifies the area.
When did area code 276 go into service?
Area code 276 went into service on September 1, 2001. It was split off from area code 540.
Is 276 a real area code?
Yes. 276 is an active code in the North American Numbering Plan, assigned by NANPA and in service for Bristol, Virginia. A real code can still show up on spoofed spam calls, so treat unknown 276 calls with normal caution.
What timezone is the 276 area code in?
The 276 area code is in the Eastern Time (ET). Because a number can be kept when someone moves or switches to VoIP, a specific 276 caller may not be in that zone.
How do I call a 276 number from abroad?
From outside the US, dial your country's exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then 276 and the seven-digit number. From a mobile phone you can usually just enter +1 276 followed by the number and let the phone add the exit code for you.
