Benedict Nebraska Area Codes

2 area codes cover Benedict: 402 and 531. A number carrying any of them is local to Benedict.

A code in the “shares ground” column is an overlay: it covers the same territory rather than a different part of Benedict, which is why local calls there are dialled as ten digits.

Scope the codes matched to Benedict. Source geoinfo-dataset (full_dataset) ZIP→NPA (2018 snapshot) and LocalCallingGuide NPA list (2026-07 NPA list). Updated 16 July 2026. Overlay relationships come from the numbering-plan authority; the place match is computed.

We do not publish which of these codes covers which street or neighbourhood in Benedict, and we would rather say so than guess. Area codes are drawn around telephone rate centres, which follow neither municipal boundaries nor ZIP codes, and the per-ZIP telephone data we hold is a 2018 snapshot too noisy to split a city with. Where these codes overlay one another the question has no answer at all: they cover the same ground by design. Awaiting a current, clean-rights rate-centre boundary source.

Postal geography is organised separately from telephone geography, so Benedict’s 1 ZIP code do not map onto the codes above. They are listed in full, with the county each falls in, on the postal side of the site.
