About the 985 Area Code
The 985 area code wraps around Southeast Louisiana outside New Orleans, reaching Houma, Slidell, and Thibodaux. Energy and commercial fishing drive much of the local economy, and both generate a lot of fax traffic in a typical day. Law offices and government agencies in Houma and Slidell fax time-sensitive filings and official correspondence where a delivery record matters. Fishing companies fax signed purchase orders to keep supply chains coordinated. Send FAX Mail gives 985 businesses an inexpensive way to send those pages from any device, no machine attached.
