Next, let’s look at why you might need a 917 area code.
Where is area code 917?
The 917 area code is associated with New York City, specifically serving the boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens.
The 917 area code was established in 1992 as an overlay for the Manhattan area in New York City. It was introduced to provide additional numbering capacity for the growing demand for telephone numbers in the region.
Overlays are implemented when the existing area code (in this case, the original 212 area code for Manhattan) is running out of available phone numbers. The introduction of the 917 overlay allowed for the assignment of more phone numbers to accommodate the increasing population and telecommunications needs in the area.
