Get a Louisiana NumberLouisiana at a Glance
Small business is the backbone of Louisiana. The state is home to 464,681 small businesses, which make up 99.5% of all employers and put nearly 899,000 people to work [1]. Whether you're running a po-boy shop in Metairie or a law office in Baton Rouge, a phone number that reads as local is part of looking like you belong.
Tourism keeps things busy too. In 2025, 45 million visitors came through Louisiana and spent $18.8 billion across the state [2]. If you handle bookings, tours, catering, or hospitality, a recognizable 504 or 337 line can be the difference between a missed call and a confirmed reservation.
Looking ahead, LSU economists project Louisiana's real GDP to grow about 1.5% through early 2027 [3]. Steady growth means steady customer calls, and that's where having reliable phone infrastructure earns its keep.
Louisiana Area Codes
Louisiana uses five area codes that loosely follow the state's regions, from the New Orleans metro to the Acadiana parishes and up to the northern hill country. Pick whichever one matches the customers you actually want to reach.
Major Cities in Louisiana
Most of Louisiana's commerce flows through a handful of metros along the Mississippi and the I-10 corridor. Here's where the people, and the customers, are concentrated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Louisiana phone number if my business is based out of state?
Yes. You don't need a Louisiana address to get a 504, 225, 318, 337, or 985 number. Plenty of businesses use a local Louisiana line to serve customers in the state without having a physical office there.
How much does a Louisiana business number cost?
Plans start at $10 per user per month, billed daily, with no contracts. Additional phone numbers are $2.50 per month each, so adding a second line for a different city is cheap.
Can I keep my existing Louisiana number and port it to Tonet?
Yes, you can port your current number from any carrier. Porting usually takes a few business days, and your existing service keeps running until the switch happens, so you won't miss calls.
Which area code should I pick for New Orleans?
504 is the New Orleans area code, covering Orleans Parish and parts of Jefferson Parish. If you're across Lake Pontchartrain in places like Slidell or Mandeville, 985 is the better fit.
Will my phones work during hurricane season?
Because the service is cloud-based, calls can route to your mobile app or any internet connection if your office loses power. That kind of flexibility matters in a state that sees its share of summer storms.
