In North America, always three digits.

In other parts of the world, it varies - and some countries do not even have area codes.

In the UK it can be as low as 2 digits, or as high as 5 digits. It depends on the area.

It varies from country to country. In North America (USA, Canada, etc.), telephone area codes are uniformly three digits, but many countries have different systems, often with short area codes for major cities and longer area codes for sparsely populated rural areas with correspondingly shorter local telephone numbers. For example, in the United Kingdom, the area code for London is 020, but the area code for Keswick is 017687.

In North America (country code +1 = USA, Canada, and some islands in/near the Caribbean), area codes are always 3 digits. In other countries, the number of digits may vary. For example, in Germany (country code +49), not including the prefix 0, area codes can be from 2 to 5 digits long, depending on the size of the city or town.

In the US and Canada, 10 digits because there is three for the area code then seven other digits.

In other countries as few as 3 or 4 or as many as 11 or perhaps 12.
