'''Area code 218''' is a telephone [[area code]] in the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) for the northern part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Minnesota]]. It is assigned to the largest of Minnesota's original two numbering plan areas (NPAs), although its geographical boundaries have been modified since inception. It comprises roughly the northern half of the state, and includes the cities of [[Duluth, Minnesota|Duluth]], [[Hibbing, Minnesota|Hibbing]], [[Brainerd, Minnesota|Brainerd]], [[Bemidji, Minnesota|Bemidji]], [[Fergus Falls, Minnesota|Fergus Falls]], and [[Moorhead, Minnesota|Moorhead]].

==History==
[[File:NANP218(north&westMN)1952.jpg|thumb|Numbering plan area 218 before 1954]]
In the [[original NANP area codes|initial 1947 map]] of the North American Numbering Plan, area code 218 was conceived as a lower-case ''r''-shaped area in the northern and western two-thirds of Minnesota. The southeastern portion, including the [[Minneapolis-St. Paul|Twin Cities]], was located in [[area code 612]].

As the implementation of the new [[telephone numbering plan]] proceeded, the Minnesota area code boundaries were redrawn in 1954 to avoid cutting across major toll traffic routes out of the Twin Cities.

This resulted in three area codes, with 218 covering the northern band of the state, 612 covering the central band, and the new [[area code 507]] forming a southern band. The southern portion of the old 218 ([[Worthington, Minnesota|Worthington]], [[Marshall, Minnesota|Marshall]], and [[Pipestone, Minnesota|Pipestone]]), was merged with the southern portion of 612 to form the new 507, which ran along the entire length of the [[Iowa]] border. 612 was rotated to stretch from the [[Wisconsin]] border to the [[South Dakota]] border, absorbing a slice of the old 218 ([[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]], [[Alexandria, Minnesota|Alexandria]], [[Appleton, Minnesota|Appleton]]). 218 was pushed into east-central Minnesota, absorbing the old 612's eastern portion and taking on roughly its present shape.

A small change in the 1990s brought the [[Northwest Angle]] into the 218 area code; that region had previously been part of [[Bell Canada]]'s [[Unorganized Kenora District|Clearwater Bay]] exchange in [[area code 807]].

Because of the low population density in northern Minnesota, the region was unaffected when the 612 area was subdivided in 1996. The resulting [[area code 320]], the former western portion of 612, runs the length of the southern border with 218, and the 612 area code has been reduced in size so much that it now just includes the city of [[Minneapolis]] and a few nearby suburbs.

The western portion of 218, generally everything from Brainerd westward, shares a [[Local access and transport area|LATA]] with the eastern half of [[North Dakota]], including [[Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo]] and [[Grand Forks, North Dakota|Grand Forks]].

Exhaust Projections by the NANP Administrator estimate that northern Minnesota will not need another area code until about 2028.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nationalnanpa.com/reports/October%202021%20NPA%20Exhaust%20Analysis.pdf|title= 2021-2 NRUF and NPA Exhaust Analysis

Prior to October 2021, area code 218 had telephone numbers assigned for the [[central office code]] 988. In 2020, ''988'' was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the [[National Suicide Prevention Lifeline]], which created a conflict for exchanges that permit [[seven-digit dialing]]. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to [[ten-digit dialing]] by October 24, 2021.<ref name="pl556">{{cite web|url=https://nationalnanpa.com/pdf/PL_556.pdf|date=January 8, 2021|publisher=North American Numbering Plan Administrator |title=Transition to 10-digit dialing (for 988 as 3-digit access to National Suicide Prevention Hotline)|access-date=March 9, 2021}}</ref>
