Frequently Asked Questions

What area code is 212?
Area code 212 is located in Manhattan, New York City. It was one of the original area codes established in 1947 and is one of the most recognizable codes in the US. It is overlaid by area codes 646 and 332.

Enter the first 3 digits of the phone number into the search box at the top of this page. You'll immediately see the state, region, cities, and time zone associated with that area code.
What are toll-free area codes?
Toll-free area codes — 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, and 888 — are not tied to a geographic location. Calls to these numbers are free for the caller; the receiving business pays the cost. They are used nationwide by companies for customer service lines.
How many area codes are there in the US?
There are over 335 active geographic area codes in the US, plus 7 toll-free prefixes. New area codes are assigned by NANPA (North American Numbering Plan Administration) as existing codes fill up, often as overlays covering the same geographic area.
What is an overlay area code?
An overlay area code serves the same geographic region as an existing code. Overlays are introduced when a region runs out of available phone numbers. For example, area code 646 overlays 212 in Manhattan — both serve New York City, and you must dial all 10 digits for local calls.
