Area code 312 is downtown Chicago. It includes the Chicago Loop and the immediate area around it. The 312-273 prefix is mostly for wireless users (cell phones), but may also include some landline numbers. Area code 773, which serves the rest of Chicago, completely surrounds area code 312; area code 872 is an overlay on both 312 and 773, serving the entire city of Chicago, but not the suburbs.
