Is the 936 area code actually a scam, or is it a real Texas number?

Not a scam! It's a legitimate Texas area code for Deep East Texas, but scammers often spoof it to trick people.

Which major Texas cities and important regions are covered by the this area code?

It covers major cities like Conroe, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, and Huntsville, spanning the southeastern "Piney Woods" region of Texas.

Do I need to dial the full 10 digits, or does the 7-digit local dialing still work in 936?

This area code was exempted from the mandate, but 10-digit dialing (936-XXX-XXXX) is highly recommended to ensure all calls connect.

Why would a business want to specifically choose a phone number with the 936 code?

It instantly builds local credibility and trust with customers in the Deep East Texas community, enhancing connection rates and presence.

When was this area code created, and what older area code did it split from?

It was officially established on February 19, 2000, to relieve number exhaustion by splitting off a large section from the 409 area code.
