954 is the area code for Broward County, Florida, which includes Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs and Pompano Beach.
Between Miami and Palm Beach
The code was created in 1995 when Broward County was split away from 305. Area code 754 was later added as an overlay, so both codes now serve the county and calls require ten digits. Broward is on Eastern time.
Broward sits between Miami-Dade to the south and Palm Beach County to the north, so many people have a 954 number but work or live in a neighboring county. That makes it hard to read much into a 954 caller. Lookup the full number and read what others have reported.
Is 954 a scam area code?
No. 954 is the main code for Broward County, home to well over a million people. Warnings about 954 calls almost always involve a spoofed number rather than anything about the code itself.
Calls reported in Broward
Broward includes Port Everglades, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, so free-cruise robocalls that ask you to press a key are an old but persistent pattern. Pressing a key rarely helps; it tends to confirm that your number is live and leads to more calls.
Residents also see calls claiming to be from the county water or power company threatening a shutoff unless you pay by card or gift card. Utilities do not ask for gift cards.
Dialing within the county
With 754 overlaid on 954, all local calls require ten digits.
Does the area code show where the caller is?
Not reliably. Scammers and call centers use spoofing to display a local area code because people are more likely to answer. People also keep their number when they move, so a 954 number can belong to someone anywhere.
That is why the full number matters more than the code. If someone has already reported it, you will see it below.
