How to Get a 364 Phone Number
There are three ways to get a phone number with the 364 area code, each suited to a different need:
- Buy from a premium-number specialist. Companies that hold curated inventories of specific area codes can sell you a 364 number directly, often with a one-time fee and ownership transferred to you (no recurring carrier fees). This is the option for picking a specific memorable number, or for getting an area code that most carriers won’t let you request. Contact us about a 364 number.
- Sign up with a VoIP carrier. Voice-over-IP services (such as Google Voice, OpenPhone, Grasshopper, and many others) can typically provision a 364 number on request, especially for active overlay codes. You won’t usually get to pick the specific number, but you’ll get a working line in the area code. This is the cheapest option for anyone who doesn’t need a particular number.
- Port an existing 364 number. If you already have a 364 phone number with another carrier, you can transfer it (port it) to a new service provider while keeping the number. This works for landlines, cell phones, and VoIP services, though landlines outside of Kentucky sometimes can’t accept inbound ports of 364 numbers due to 911 routing rules.

What is the difference between 364 and 270?
Today they share the same geographic territory in Kentucky. New phone lines in the area may be assigned either code. The two codes work identically for calling, billing, and service.

Can I get a 364 number if I don't live in Kentucky?
Yes. Phone numbers are no longer tied to a physical address. With VoIP service or a number broker, you can hold a 364 number from anywhere in the world. The number routes to whatever device or carrier you specify.
Is 364 a scam area code?
No. 364 is a legitimate, active area code for Western and south central Kentucky, including Warren, Daviess, McCracken, Christian, Hardin, and Henderson counties. Like any area code, scammers occasionally spoof 364 caller IDs, but the code itself is heavily used by real Kentucky businesses, government offices, and residents.
What area does the 364 area code cover?
Area code 364 covers western and south central Kentucky, including cities such as Bowling Green, Owensboro, Paducah, Hopkinsville, Henderson, Elizabethtown, Madisonville, and Murray. It serves the same geographic territory as area code 270.
Is 364 an overlay or a split from area code 270?
It is an overlay. When 364 was activated on March 3, 2014, existing 270 customers kept their numbers. Both codes now serve the same region, and ten-digit dialing is required for all local calls throughout the 270/364 territory.
Why did it take so long for 364 to go into service?
The Kentucky Public Service Commission first announced 364 in June 2007 as relief for an exhausted 270. Multiple rounds of number conservation measures — including expanded number pooling — repeatedly delayed implementation until NANPA determined in 2012 that further delay was no longer feasible, and the code launched as an overlay in 2014.
