Area code 989 covers 135 cities and communities in Michigan, including Akron, Alger, Alma, Alpena, Ashley, and 130 more localities. This is based on telephone company rate center data — the geographic areas carriers use to determine local calling boundaries and to assign numbers when a business or individual requests a phone number in a specific city.
All numbers in the 989 area code observe Eastern Time (IANA timezone: America/New_York). Eastern Time is UTC−5 in winter (EST) and UTC−4 in summer (EDT). When placing a call to a 989 number from a different time zone, check the current local time above to avoid calling outside of business hours.
From within Michigan, dial the 7-digit local number directly if calling within the same rate center, or dial 1 + 989 + 7-digit number for long-distance calls within North America. From outside the US or Canada, dial your country's international exit code followed by 1 989 XXX XXXX. The country code for both the United States and Canada in NANP is +1.
Format 989 numbers using E.164 notation as required by RFC 3966: prefix with +1 and omit dashes and parentheses (e.g., +19895550100). This format ensures tel: links work correctly on all mobile browsers and VoIP apps. See the tel: URI formatting guide for complete examples.
