What is 651

Area code 651 covers the City of St. Paul and the eastern Twin Cities suburbs — including Maplewood, Woodbury, Stillwater, and White Bear Lake. St. Paul is Minnesota's state capital and the home of 3M's global headquarters, making it one of the few US cities to pair a major state government complex with a flagship Fortune 500 presence. The city's healthcare sector includes Regions Hospital and HealthEast. The 651 zone also covers the Minnesota State Fair's massive venue complex and the riverfront cultural district, reflecting a metro that balances government, advanced manufacturing, and creative economy.

WHY 651 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 651 number?

01

3M's global HQ — innovation starts in St. Paul

3M's world headquarters in Maplewood employs thousands and sources billions in supplies annually. A 651 number puts vendors, distributors, and service firms directly in 3M's preferred local contact zone.

02

Minnesota state government — the capital's economy

St. Paul is Minnesota's capital, and state agencies, regulatory bodies, and government contractors expect local 651 numbers. Lobby firms, compliance vendors, and government services businesses need a 651 presence.

03

HealthEast and the east metro healthcare corridor

The 651 zone covers a dense healthcare corridor anchored by Regions Hospital and multiple HealthEast campuses. Medical device vendors, healthcare staffing, and clinical service firms benefit from a local St. Paul number.

04

A separate identity from 612 — Twin Cities east markets

651 covers distinct communities from the 612 zone — Woodbury, Stillwater, White Bear Lake — that identify with St. Paul rather than Minneapolis. A 651 number differentiates your business in these east-metro markets.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 651 number.

Every 651 number delivers fourteen professional tools for St. Paul's government-and-innovation economy — compliance call recording for Minnesota state agency requirements, multi-line IVR for 3M's global supplier network, and 24/7 routing for the Twin Cities east metro's professional services market.
