What is 406

Area code 406 is Montana's only area code, covering the entire state — Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, Kalispell, and Helena. Billings is Montana's largest city and the primary commercial hub for the northern Great Plains, serving as a regional centre for energy, healthcare, and agribusiness across a vast geographic catchment. Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls hosts one of the three Minuteman III missile wings in the US nuclear arsenal. Montana State University in Bozeman and the University of Montana in Missoula are growing research institutions, and Bozeman's tech ecosystem has attracted significant out-of-state migration, making it one of the fastest-growing small metros in the US. The state's outdoor recreation and tourism economy is a major economic pillar.

WHY 406 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 406 number?

01

Malmstrom AFB — the Minuteman III nuclear missile wing

Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls hosts one of three Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile wings in the US nuclear arsenal. Defence contractors and technology vendors need a local 406 number to engage Malmstrom's significant contractor and support community.

02

Billings — the Great Plains energy and healthcare hub

Billings is the largest city in Montana and the primary commercial hub for a vast geography including eastern Montana and northern Wyoming. Energy services, healthcare, and business services companies need a 406 number to engage Billings' role as a regional commercial centre.

03

Bozeman's tech migration — fastest-growing small metro

Bozeman has attracted significant out-of-state technology migration, making it one of the fastest-growing small metros in the US. Technology companies, remote-work services, and professional services firms benefit from a local 406 number when engaging Bozeman's rapidly expanding tech community.

04

Montana's outdoor recreation economy — Glacier to Yellowstone

Montana's national parks, ski resorts, and outdoor recreation economy draw millions of visitors annually. Hospitality, outdoor gear, and tourism technology companies benefit from a 406 local number when serving Montana's significant outdoor recreation market.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 406 number.

Every 406 number includes fourteen professional tools for Montana's military-and-energy economy — compliance call recording for Malmstrom AFB's contractor requirements, advanced routing for Billings's 24/7 energy and healthcare operations, and analytics for Bozeman's fast-growing technology and outdoor recreation market.
