Area code 786 · Miami, Florida
Get a 786 phone number for your business
786 covers Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys — Hialeah, Miami Beach and Homestead on the mainland, then the island chain south of it as far as Key West. It is a Miami number in the plain sense: any business trading inside the county, or down the Keys, can hold one. North of the county line the numbering changes. We provision numbers on a network we own, which is why one costs $1.00 a month and is not tied to a contract.
What area code 786 covers
The footprint runs the length of Miami-Dade County and on down the Florida Keys to Key West at the far end. Nothing north of the county line is in it. The whole stretch keeps Eastern time and observes daylight saving.

786 stops at the Broward line
786 is not a district code within Miami. It sits on the same ground as 305, and 645 is issued across that ground as well, so a Miami-Dade or Keys line may arrive in any of them; ten-digit dialling is standard throughout. What none of them reaches is Broward County: Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood are 954, over the line to the north.
What the 786 part actually is
A North American number has four parts. The area code is the second, and it is the one that tells a caller roughly where you are before they have spoken to anyone.

How to get a 786 number
-
Tell us how many you need
Give us the area code and a quantity. We search live inventory and come back with what is actually available, including any repeating or sequential patterns worth having.
-
Point it wherever you want
Route it to a seat, a ring group, an auto attendant, or straight down a SIP trunk into a PBX you already own. A number is not welded to one product on our network.
-
Register the 911 address
Every number needs a validated street address so an emergency call reaches the right dispatcher. That is a legal requirement rather than an upsell, and it takes about a minute in the portal.
Already have a 786 number?
Bring it. Porting a local number in is $5.00 once and the number itself does not change. Numbers port out again just as freely if you ever leave, which is worth saying because not every carrier makes that straightforward.
-
You sign the LOA
A letter of authorization proves the number is yours to move. We prepare it and send it over; you check the details and sign.
-
We request the port
The request goes to your current carrier with a copy of your most recent bill, which is what they match the account details against.
-
They confirm a date
The losing carrier accepts the request and returns a firm order commitment date. If they reject it, it is almost always a mismatched address or account number, and we fix it and resubmit.
-
The number cuts over
On the agreed date the number starts ringing on our network. Your old service stays live until that moment, so there is no window where calls go nowhere.
Questions about 786 numbers
- Can I get a 786 phone number?
- Yes. We source local numbers in every US area code, and 786 is $1.00 per number per month with no contract. You choose the number, we provision it, and it is on your account without a wait in most cases.
- Where does area code 786 cover?
- The footprint runs the length of Miami-Dade County and on down the Florida Keys to Key West at the far end. Nothing north of the county line is in it. The whole stretch keeps Eastern time and observes daylight saving.
- Do I need an office in Florida to use a 786 number?
- No. A 786 number works from anywhere, and your team can be remote or spread across several states. What the number buys you is a local presence for the people calling you, which matters because a lot of people will not pick up an unfamiliar out-of-state number.
- Is 786 different from 305 in where it reaches?
- No. 305 and 786 cover one territory — Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys — and 645 covers it too. Not one of them is more central or more suburban than the others, and not one crosses into Broward or Palm Beach. Whichever code a line is issued in, it reads as Miami-Dade and reaches the same places.
- Can I move my existing 786 number over?
- Yes. Porting a local number in is $5.00 once and the number does not change. We prepare the paperwork and coordinate with your current carrier, and your existing service stays live right up to the agreed cutover.
- What does a 786 number cost in total?
- The number is $1.00 per month. If you also need a phone system to answer it on, seats start at $19.95 per user per month with every feature included at every tier. If you already run a PBX, point a SIP trunk at the number instead and pay per minute.
