About the 336 region
336 covers Greensboro in North Carolina, including Archdale, Asheboro, Burlington, Clemmons and Eden. The code has been in service since 1997.
As the Greensboro region grew, 336 ran low on available numbers, so 743 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
