Pennsylvania area codes
15 area codes currently serve Pennsylvania. The state's numbering history begins in 1947 with 215, 412, 717, 814. Most recent addition: 835, in service since 2022.
Coverage runs through 267 (Philadelphia), 484 (Allentown), 717 (Harrisburg City Zone-1), 724 (Greensburg), 814 (Erie), 215 (Philadelphia), 610 (Philadelphia Suburban), 570 (Scranton) and 7 further codes; prefix counts in the table approximate each code's numbering footprint.
Overlay territory: 215/267/445, 223/717, 272/570, 412/878, 484/610/835 and more — same geography, several codes, ten-digit local dialing.
Recent numbering history: 272 arrived in 2013, 223 arrived in 2017, 445 arrived in 2018, 582 arrived in 2021, 835 arrived in 2022 — overlays added as existing codes approached exhaust.
Time zone is uniform across the state's codes: Eastern.
Toll-free callers are a separate story: 800-family numbers carry no Pennsylvania geography at all, so an 833 or 877 number is never "from" the state — it belongs to whichever business rents it, anywhere in the NANP.
A number in any of these codes was issued in Pennsylvania, but portability means its owner may be anywhere today — the codes locate numbers, not people. To dig further, open a code's prefix or cities pages.
