Hand out a Minneapolis area code without handing out your own number. Calls ring your phone, texts land in a web inbox, and one tap burns the number. ## Get a 612 number in four steps 1. **Pick 612.** Choose 612 from the area-code list when you start. NumberBurn searches for a number in that code. 2. **Name it.** Give the number a label such as the listing or the person it is for, so you can tell calls apart on your phone and in the inbox. 3. **Give it out.** Put the number on the listing, form or profile. Callers see a Minneapolis area code. 4. **Answer on your phone.** Calls ring the mobile you verified. Texts land in your web inbox. Switch the number to texts only or reject everything with one tap. ## Who asks for 612 ### Moving in over a snowy weekend A nurse transferring to a hospital near the river wants a Minneapolis number before her truck even arrives. Landlords, internet installers and a snow-removal service all need a way to reach her, and she would rather keep her old line private. Calls and texts from each of them reach the new number. ### Selling lake-cabin furniture A family closing up a cabin posts an oak dresser and a set of dining chairs on a regional marketplace. A separate line with the city prefix is easy to retire once the last chair leaves. Buyers coming from the lakes and the suburbs expect to reach someone close by. ### Attending a convention downtown A trade association member traveling to the convention center for a week of sessions needs one number for a car service and the new contacts she collects. A local prefix on her card looks natural next to hometown business cards, and their calls and texts land on the line during the event. ## Minneapolis and the area around it Minneapolis stands on both banks of the Mississippi River in east-central Minnesota, with St. Paul as its close neighbor just to the east. A chain of lakes and parkways curves through the southwest of the city, and the river drops past a set of old mill buildings near downtown. Bloomington lies to the south, near the large airport, while Edina and Minnetonka spread to the southwest and west. Winters are long and cold, which is why downtown links many buildings with enclosed skyways. A 612 prefix rings as a Minneapolis number on phones from St. Paul to Edina, and it seldom prompts anyone to wonder where the caller really is.

Start a trial, choose 612 as the area code and name the number. NumberBurn looks for a number in that code when you check out, so which ones are free is confirmed there, not on this page. ### Does a 612 number suit a business? It can. A 612 number gives a Minneapolis look to a work line, a listing or a client contact, and calls ring the phone you already carry. It cannot place calls or send texts, so it is for being reached, not for outreach. ### Does 612 read as local to callers outside Minneapolis? Near Minneapolis it will. Farther away, callers see a Minnesota code and still know it is a local-format number; pick the code of the place your callers are in if that matters to you. ### Can I call or text from a 612 number? No. NumberBurn numbers are receive-only: calls ring your own phone, texts appear in a web inbox, and the number cannot dial out, send texts or reach 911. ### What does the trial include for a 612 number? The 7-day trial costs $1 at signup and holds 1 number and 100 forwarded minutes. A card is collected at checkout. When the trial ends, your card is charged for the first month and the plan renews every month until you cancel, from $9.99 a month. ## Related - [Area codes you can get a number in](https://numberburn.com/area-codes.md) - [512 area code phone number in Austin](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/512.md) - [713 area code phone number in Houston](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/713.md) - [314 area code phone number in St. Louis](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/314.md) - [312 area code phone number in Chicago](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/312.md) - [214 area code phone number in Dallas](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/214.md) - [617 area code phone number in Boston](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/617.md) - [619 area code phone number in San Diego](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/619.md) - [602 area code phone number in Phoenix](https://numberburn.com/area-codes/602.md)
