FAQ
Why am I getting spam calls from 347 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 347 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
Where is a 347 number from?
347 is assigned to New York City and surrounding areas of New York in the Eastern time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.

No. 347 is a geographic code; calls are billed like any other domestic call. Toll-free codes are 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888.
