Geographic Regions and Area Codes in Area Code 353

Area Code 353 is a newly introduced overlay area code in Wisconsin, designed to address the exhaustion of available numbers in the existing 608 area code. This area code serves the same geographic region as the 608 area code, covering much of southwestern and southcentral Wisconsin. Key cities and communities within this region include:

  • Madison
  • Beloit
  • Janesville
  • La Crosse
  • Middleton
  • Monroe
  • Platteville
  • Stoughton
  • Sun Prairie
  • Wisconsin Dells

Businesses in these areas can be assigned either the 608 or 353 area code when requesting new service or additional lines. This ensures that there is no disruption in service and that new businesses can easily obtain phone numbers.
