267 area code — Philadelphia, PA geographic

Data: NANPA public reports, current as of July 28, 2026.

267 is the area code for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in service since July 1, 1999, Eastern time. It is part of the 215/267/445 overlay complex — these codes share the same territory. Note that porting and VoIP mean a 267 number can be used from anywhere — the code marks where the number was assigned.

786 central-office prefixes are currently active in this code, spread across 38 code-holding carriers. Thousands-block pooling applies to 700 prefixes, so a single prefix can belong to several carriers. Its prefixes map to 36 distinct rate centers.

Practical takeaway: the 267 label narrows geography to Pennsylvania, the prefix narrows it to a locality, and neither authenticates a caller. Verification means calling back through a number you found yourself.

Dialing: 10D locally, 1+10D to other codes (all calls within and between the 215, 267 and 445 npas can be dialed as 10d or 1+10d. calls to other npas must be dialed as 1+10d.).

NANPA projects numbering capacity for the 215/267/445 complex to exhaust in 2Q 2050.

267 was created from 215 in 1999. It has since spawned 445 (2018).

FAQ

Why do 215 and 267 cover the same place?

They are overlays: when a code runs low on numbers, a new code is added over the same territory instead of splitting it. The 215/267/445 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.

Will 267 run out of numbers?

NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 2Q 2050 — decades of capacity remain.

Why am I getting spam calls from 267 numbers?

Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 267 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.

Where is a 267 number from?

267 is assigned to Philadelphia and surrounding areas of Pennsylvania in the Eastern time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.
