About Forsyth County Phone Directory

Phone numbers for Forsyth County live across many official places: the Winston-Salem staff directory, Forsyth County department pages, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, Wake Forest University, Forsyth Tech, CityLink 311, utility contacts, public safety lines, and area-code references maintained by NANPA, the FCC, and North Carolina Public Staff. Tracking down the right number often means moving between city, county, school, utility, and state websites.

Why We Built This Site

Forsyth County phone information is split among separate public offices and institutions. Winston-Salem publishes a searchable staff directory and a CityLink contact center. Forsyth County publishes department pages for Health and Human Services, the Sheriff, the Register of Deeds, libraries, tax, parks, inspections, and other offices. WS/FCS has its own staff directory, while Wake Forest University and Forsyth Tech maintain campus directory tools. Public-safety routing also splits among 911, 988, CityLink 311, NC 211, and non-emergency lines such as Winston-Salem Police at 336-773-7700. North Carolina Public Staff, NANPA, and the FCC supply the numbering references for the county's 336 and 743 area codes.

What We Cannot Do

This is a privately run reference site. We have no connection to Forsyth County government, the City of Winston-Salem, any North Carolina state agency, WS/FCS, Wake Forest University, Forsyth Tech, a utility, a telecommunications carrier, or a directory operator. There are real limits to what we can help with:

  • We cannot place calls on your behalf or connect you to a department
  • We cannot change anyone's directory listing, add a number, or remove a listing
  • We cannot verify the identity of someone who called you
  • We cannot give legal advice or explain how a specific scam call applies to your situation
  • We cannot guarantee that every phone number, area code, or directory link on this site is current right now

Only the originating office can confirm a current phone number or change a listing. For emergencies, dial 911. For a mental-health or suicidal crisis, dial 988.
