606 area code
Eastern Kentucky, including Ashland, Pikeville and Somerset.

The customer's town and preferred local callback time are particularly useful when booking across the region.

Questions about 606
Is all of 606 on Eastern Time?
No. NANPA lists both Eastern and Central time zones for 606. Confirm the town and explicitly state the time zone for appointments or time-sensitive callbacks.
Is a 606 call safe to answer?
The 606 prefix identifies a numbering region, not a caller's identity or trustworthiness. Verify an unexpected request by contacting the organization through a number you already know.
Can I get a 606 business number?
Search the available numbers in VeraDial. Inventory changes, so a 606 number is not guaranteed. You can also keep your current carrier number and forward voice calls to a VeraDial line; existing texts stay with your carrier.
