About 364 Area Code
Area code 364 serves western and south-central Kentucky as an overlay of area code 270. Implemented on March 3, 2014, it covers the same geographic region as 270, including major cities like Bowling Green, Owensboro, Hopkinsville, Paducah and Elizabethtown. The overlay spans 46 counties and supports local voice and SMS-capable numbers used by manufacturers, healthcare providers, educational institutions and service businesses across both urban and rural communities.
The 364 region is anchored by automotive manufacturing (the GM Corvette Assembly Plant), aluminum production (the largest in the U.S.), higher education (Western Kentucky University), and agriculture. Businesses use 364 numbers for customer support, parts coordination, patient appointment reminders and university admissions. Local numbers deliver higher answer rates than toll-free alternatives because they signal regional credibility and match caller expectations in this tight-knit business community.
FoneSwift lists live 364 inventory and capabilities on this page. Search numbers to see which support Voice, SMS and MMS. Since 364 is an overlay, both 364 and 270 numbers serve the same territory. If a specific 364 number is unavailable immediately, a 270 number provides identical geographic coverage. For broader Kentucky reach, nearby NPAs like 502 (Louisville) or 859 (Lexington) may also work for your business.
If your business targets Bowling Green, Owensboro or western Kentucky, publish numbers in both local and E.164 formats (e.g., (364) 555-1234 and +1 364 555 1234) and register messaging traffic if you plan A2P campaigns. For porting, see our porting guide. Many businesses maintain the same number to preserve brand recognition, especially in manufacturing and healthcare where customer relationships drive long-term revenue.

How Does Local 364 Phone Numbers Work?
A local business number is a structured telephone identifier that tells networks where to route calls and messages.

- Country code (+1): identifies United States for international routing.
- Area code (364): directs the call to the Bowling Green / Kentucky region.

- Subscriber number (eg. 1234): the unique line assigned to a person, extension, or device.
