Area code 802 is a telephone area code for the U.S. State of Vermont. AT&T established the numbering plan area (NPA) for the entire state in October 1947, and it remains Vermont's only area code.
Vermont's sole area code, 802 covers the entire state from Burlington to Rutland. University of Vermont medical staff, state government offices in Montpelier, and distributors of artisanal food and goods make up a distinct share of calls.
