New philadelphia area code

As of March 22, 2021, the new area code for the Philadelphia area is 267. This new area code was added to help alleviate the demand for phone numbers in the 215 area code, which has been in use since 1947.

The 267 area code serves the same geographic area as the 215 area code, which includes Philadelphia and surrounding counties in Pennsylvania, as well as parts of New Jersey and Delaware.

Here are some key facts about the new 267 area code:

• The 267 area code is an overlay of the 215 area code, meaning that it serves the same geographic area.
• The 267 area code is used for new phone numbers, while the 215 area code will continue to be used for existing phone numbers.
• The 267 area code is not a replacement for the 215 area code, but rather a supplement to help meet the growing demand for phone numbers.
• The 267 area code is used by both residential and business customers in the Philadelphia area.

It's worth noting that the 267 area code is not a new area code for the entire state of Pennsylvania. The 267 area code is specific to the Philadelphia area, and other areas of the state continue to use different area codes.
