It serves the city of Dallas and adjacent suburbs including Highland Park, University Park, Garland, and Mesquite, and is a local (non-toll-free) area code in the Central Time Zone.

214 originally covered all of north and east Texas. As Dallas grew into a Sun Belt megacity, splits in 1957 (915), 1980 (817), and 1990 (903) reduced its territory. In 1996, 972 was carved out for the Dallas suburbs, leaving 214 with just the city core. Overlay 469 was added in 1999 to handle continued growth, with 214/469/972 now functioning as a single overlay complex across the Dallas area. A 214 number remains the heritage signal for established Dallas businesses.
