North American area code 605 is the telephone area code serving the entire state of South Dakota, and is one of the area codes that was created in 1947. It is also one of a gradually decreasing number of single-state, single LATA, single area code areas. (North Dakota uses only the area code 701, but is split into two LATAs, one of which includes Minnesota.)

Before October 2021, area code 605 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988. In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that permit seven-digit dialing. Area code 605 was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.[1]
