Nebraska is a Midwestern state home to close to two million people. The state is made up of two major land areas: The Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains. Eighty-nine percent of Nebraska cities have a population of under 3,000 residents. Omaha is the largest city with a population close to 900,000 people.

There are currently two main Nebraska area codes and one overlay. Area code 402 was established in 1947 and covers Eastern Nebraska including Omaha, Lincoln, Bellevue and Ralston. In 1954, area code 308 was introduced and currently services western cities such as Grand Island, Kearney, North Platte and Sidney. In 2011, overlay area code 531 was introduced, making 10 digit dialing mandatory. It serves 12 major cities along with area code 402.
