Normally (but not always) it is the part of the phone number which you can leave out when dialling locally. For example in the UK, in the London number (020) 3456 7890, '020' is the area code and it is possible to call between two phones with the 020 code by just dialling the eight digit local number.
In the USA and Canada, the area code is always the first 3 digits of the 10 digit number. In other countries, the length might vary - for example in the UK, Cardiff has a short code of 029 and long eight-digit local numbers, while nearby Swansea has the code 01792 and shorter six-digit local numbers. Some countries, such as Denmark, don't use area codes at all.
