Area code 982 has not yet been assigned by NANPA to any specific region or location in the United States. However, if there is a demand for additional phone numbers in a specific location, the area code may be issued in the future. When an area code isn’t assigned to a specific region or location, it’s known as a “general purpose” area code.
This indicates that if someone receives a phone call or text message from a number with the area code 982 is most likely a spam or scam call.
