682 Area Code: Fort Worth, TX Business Phone Numbers
The 682 area code covers Fort Worth, Arlington, and the rest of Tarrant County in the Central time zone, sharing territory with the older 817 code. It was introduced in 2000 as an overlay, and because 817 came first, most numbers issued today come from the 682 pool. Here is what it covers, how to get a 682 number, and what it costs.
Get a 682 NumberAbout the 682 Area Code
The 682 code showed up in 2000 as an overlay on top of 817, which had served Tarrant County since the 1950s. Because it's an overlay and not a split, no one had to give up an existing number, but ten-digit dialing became the norm across Fort Worth and its neighbors. Today a 682 prefix reads as unmistakably local to anyone west of Dallas.
Fort Worth officially crossed the one million resident mark and now ranks as the 10th largest city in the country[1]. Since the 2020 Census, it has grown 11.9%, faster in percentage terms than any other large Texas city[2]. That kind of growth has pulled in aerospace, logistics, healthcare, and a wave of small businesses working the neighborhoods around downtown, the Stockyards, and the west side.
When a customer in Arlington or Southlake sees a 682 number on their caller ID, they know it's someone who works where they live. That matters when you're a plumber in Burleson or a boutique in Grapevine competing against national chains with 800 numbers. A local number signals you'll actually pick up, and that you understand the market.
Cities Served by the 682 Area Code
The 682 code stretches across Tarrant County and parts of Johnson County, covering 15 cities from downtown Fort Worth out to the airport suburbs. It shares the same footprint as 817, so numbers issued today land in the 682 pool.
New 682 Number or Port What You Have?
There are two ways to end up with a Fort Worth number on your caller ID, and which one fits depends on where you are starting from.
Get a new virtual 682 number. If you do not have a Fort Worth number yet, this is the five-minute route. You pick an available 682 number in the Tonet dashboard, and it works immediately from the mobile app, a browser, or a SIP desk phone. Nothing is tied to a street address, so a remote team in Austin, Denver, or overseas can answer a Tarrant County line the moment it is assigned. That is the common setup for companies selling into the Metroplex without an office there: the 682 number rings whoever is on call, wherever they are.
Port the number you already use. If your business already runs on an 817 or 682 number, porting keeps it. Porting to Tonet is free and usually takes 7 to 10 business days, sometimes longer depending on your current carrier, and your old provider keeps the line running until the switch completes, so there is no gap. You keep the number your customers know and drop the old bill.
Both routes get the same features and the same pricing. The only real difference is whether the number is new to your customers or one they already have saved.
What a 682 Business Number Costs
Tonet has two plans, both billed daily with no contract:
Pay-as-you-go is $10 per user per month, billed daily so you only pay for active days, plus 1 cent per minute for calls and 3 cents per text. For a low-volume line, a real month often lands under $15 total. Unlimited is $15 per user per month, billed daily, with unlimited calls and texts, which makes sense once the line stays busy.
On either plan, each phone number is $2.50 per month, porting is free, and there are no setup fees. A $15 deposit gets you started, and for a single user it typically lasts about a month. If you are comparing against per-seat subscriptions in the $20 to $30 range, run the math on what you actually use first.
