📍 Geographic Location of New York
Overview of Area Code 347
Area code 347 is a geographic North American Numbering Plan Area (NPA) code serving the New York City boroughs of The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, as well as parts of Manhattan. It is an overlay code, introduced in 1999 to supplement the original 212 and 718 area codes due to exhaust. Today, 347 is one of several overlay codes (including 718, 917, 929, and 332) that share the same geographic footprint. Because of this overlay, ten-digit dialing is mandatory for all local calls within the region, even for calls to the same area code.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
The 347 area code is administered by the New York Public Service Commission and is assigned to the New York City metropolitan area. It covers the five boroughs, with the exception of a small portion of Manhattan that retains 212/917. The code is used for both landline and mobile services, and numbers are portable, meaning customers can keep their 347 number when switching providers or moving within the region.
Dialing Formats
For local calls within the 347 area, callers must dial the full ten-digit number: area code + seven-digit local number. For example, to call a number in Brooklyn, you would dial 347-555-0123. For international callers, the format is +1 347 555 0123. When calling from outside the United States, replace the leading '1' with the international access code of your country (e.g., 011 from many countries).
Caller Instructions
If you are calling a 347 number from outside the New York City area but within the United States, you must dial 1-347-XXX-XXXX. For example, from California, you would dial 1-347-555-0123. If you are calling from abroad, dial your country's exit code, then 1-347-XXX-XXXX. Remember that 347 is not a toll-free code; standard long-distance or international charges may apply depending on your carrier and plan.
Overlay and Number Exhaust
As an overlay, 347 does not require a change in dialing habits for existing numbers, but new numbers may be assigned any of the overlay codes. The most recent addition, 332, was introduced in 2017 to ensure continued availability. This overlay system ensures that the New York City region has a sufficient supply of telephone numbers for its dense population and business community.
