About Area Code 708

708 is one of the area codes serving parts of Chicago’s south and western suburbs in Illinois.

Introduced in 1989 as a split from the iconic 312 area, 708 covers a densely populated region including towns like Cicero, Oak Lawn, Berwyn, and Harvey.

The area code is well recognized due to its presence in several high-traffic communities—home to popular shopping destinations such as Oakbrook Center and diverse neighborhoods with deep-rooted cultural history.

708 is commonly associated with the ‘southland’—a blend of urban and suburban environments with strong local identity.

Businesses using this prefix often benefit from strong local recognition and the ability to connect to households and organizations with decades-long community ties.

“In the old days we would have to call everyone personally, one at a time. there is still a place for that but to get out general reminders and announcements, it would take hours. Now we do it in a couple minutes.”

“We are a not for profit organization and use the software to communicate transportation issues to the more than 900 individuals that we serve. The product allows me to get the word out for an emergency weather closing or delay in a very efficient manner. The best price product on the market.”

“I have used several different programs at different cost and different companies. I have found that this one is by far the better fit for the needs we have for it. I can see where it can keep the staff and partners informed with a simple text blast as well as able to be setup as a good marketing tool for clients without spamming them either.”
