City population is shown in full. The share of each city inside 940 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 940 Area Code
Who called me from a 940 number?
A 940 number is assigned to Denton, Texas, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 940 code to look nearby, so a 940 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 692 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 940 code (70% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.
Is 940 a scam area code?
No area code is a scam on its own. 940 is a normal, officially assigned code for Denton, Texas. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 940 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 692 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 940 code (70% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.
Why do I keep getting calls from the 940 area code?
Repeated calls from different 940 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 940 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 692 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 940 code (70% 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 940 number?
If you aren't expecting a 940 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 940 area code?
Block a single 940 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 940 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.
Where is area code 940?
Area code 940 covers Denton and the surrounding area in Texas, spanning 106 cities with about 671,469 residents. No other code overlays this region, so 940 alone identifies the area.
When did area code 940 go into service?
Area code 940 went into service on May 25, 1997. It was split off from area code 817.
Is 940 a real area code?
Yes. 940 is an active code in the North American Numbering Plan, assigned by NANPA and in service for Denton, Texas. A real code can still show up on spoofed spam calls, so treat unknown 940 calls with normal caution.
What timezone is the 940 area code in?
The 940 area code is in the Central Time (CT). Because a number can be kept when someone moves or switches to VoIP, a specific 940 caller may not be in that zone.
How do I call a 940 number from abroad?
From outside the US, dial your country's exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then 940 and the seven-digit number. From a mobile phone you can usually just enter +1 940 followed by the number and let the phone add the exit code for you.
