what is the area code for omaha nebraska
Area codes 402 and 531 Nebraska's most-populous cities, Omaha and Lincoln, are near each other in the eastern part of the state. In comparable circumstances in Kansas, where its most-populous cities, Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City are in that state's eastern part, a north-south split was implemented placing Wichita in one area code, with Topeka and Kansas City in another. However, in Nebraska an east-west split was implemented in which Omaha and Lincoln retained 402, while Grand Island, then the state's third-most-populous city, was placed in 308.
