New york call code
You're referring to the area code for New York City!
The area code for New York City is 212. However, it's worth noting that New York City has undergone several area code changes over the years.
In 1999, the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) introduced a new area code, 646, to serve the same geographic area as 212. This was done to alleviate the growing demand for phone numbers in the city.
In 2009, another new area code, 917, was introduced to serve the same area as 212 and 646. This area code is used for wireless and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services.
Today, the three area codes used in New York City are:
- 212: This area code is primarily used for landline phones and is still widely used in Manhattan.
- 646: This area code is used for both landline and wireless phones, and is also used in Manhattan.
- 917: This area code is used for wireless and VoIP services, and is also used in Manhattan.
It's worth noting that while these area codes are specific to New York City, they can be used by anyone, regardless of their location.
