407 area code — Orlando, FL geographic
Area code 407 is a geographic code serving Orlando, Florida in the Eastern time zone. It has been in service since April 16, 1988. Together with 321, 689 it forms the 321/407/689 overlay. Because of number portability and VoIP, the area code tells you where the number was issued, not where the caller is right now.
NANPA lists 785 active NXX prefixes in 407, assigned to 39 carriers. 485 of those prefixes are pooled — shared between carriers in thousands-number blocks. The code spans 17 rate centers (billing localities).
Its parent code is 305, which it left in 1988. Later relief produced 561 (1996), 321 (1999), 689 (2019) from its territory.
Official projections put exhaust for the 321/407/689 complex at 1Q 2051.
The dialing plan is 10D for home-NPA local calls and 10D across codes.
Practical takeaway: the 407 label narrows geography to Florida, the prefix narrows it to a locality, and neither authenticates a caller. Verification means calling back through a number you found yourself.

Why do 321 and 407 cover the same place?

Will 407 run out of numbers?

Why am I getting spam calls from 407 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 407 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
