Area code 531 covers the eastern part of Nebraska.
Area code 531 is an overlay to area code 402 in eastern Nebraska. Area code 402 was created in 1947, and area code 531 was added in 2011. Ten-digit dialing has been mandatory in this region since Spring 2011.
Introduced as an overlay to 402, the 531 area code serves the same eastern Nebraska geography, including Omaha, Lincoln, and Bellevue. Mutual of Omaha agents and Offutt AFB personnel are among the callers you'd expect from both codes in this region.
