We have created a product called ACRef which allows you to look up area codes from your desktop. You do not need to be connected to the Internet to run this.

Easy to Use & Informative: You just enter an area code and it will tell you the primary cities within that area code, along with the time zone that area code is primarily in, plus the local time. Note that some area codes cross time zones, so the local time may be off by an hour in those cases.

Free Updates*: This product has an option where you can click a button to go to our web site and update the data to the latest version. Lately, the number of new area codes has slowed down dramatically, so new versions may only be released about once or twice a year.
