Area code 347

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The blue area is New York State; the red area is area codes 347 and overlays 718 and 917

Area code 347 is a New York City area code used as an overlay to area code 718 and area code 917. It is used in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island in New York City, as well as the Marble Hill and Inwood sections of Manhattan. 347 is used for landline, cell phones/pagers/mobile devices, but all of the other area codes in the city can be used for such services.

The 347 area code was introduced October 1, 1999^[1]. The fact that it was an overlay meant that telephone lines which previously had a 718 or 917 area code maintained their number, while the majority of new numbers in the area from that point on were assigned the 347 area code. The addition of 347 to New York City brings the number of area codes used in New York City to five (212, 718, 917, 646 and 347).
