737 is an overlay on the same region as area code 512. Both codes serve the same cities and calls between them work like any other local call, so a 737 number carries the same standing as a 512 one.
Most of the 737 region runs on Central Time, matching the rest of Texas. If you're regularly in touch with contacts in the Mountain Time zone, keep the hour difference in mind when timing calls.
