Why Choose a 269 Area Code?
The 269 area code was created in 2002 as a split from the 616 area code to accommodate rising demand in Southwest Michigan. Today, it’s the go-to code for businesses and residents in cities like Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Portage, and St. Joseph.
Whether you're in healthcare, education, manufacturing, or professional services, having a 269 phone number allows you to appear familiar, local, and accessible — no matter where your team is actually based.
