314 is one of the original codes of 1947. Two codes have been split from it: 573 in 1996 and 636 in 1999.
A second code, 557, was laid over the 314 area and entered service on August 12, 2022. The overlay was first approved on October 24, 2000, and the Missouri Public Service Commission gave notice to go ahead with it on August 11, 2021. A local call is dialed with ten digits.

Create a number in your dashboard, type 314 as the area code and give it a name, such as Flat for rent. It is live in about a minute. You do not need to live in St. Louis: calls ring the phone you already carry.

In the ones right beside the city, yes. The 314 area takes in Florissant, Bridgeton, Overland, Creve Coeur, Kirkwood, Webster Groves and Sappington, and 557 was laid over the same area in 2022.
No. Your numbers are receive-only: they take calls and texts, and they never make them. You answer calls on your own phone, and you cannot reply to a text from the inbox.
