What area code 213 covers

The 213, 323 and 738 territory covers central Los Angeles, reaching from West Hollywood in the west to Montebello in the east. Pacific time applies across the whole of it, with daylight saving, so the working day opens three hours behind the eastern seaboard.

What the 213 part actually is

A North American number has four parts. The area code is the second, and it is the one that tells a caller roughly where you are before they have spoken to anyone.

How to get a 213 number

1. Step 1

   Tell us how many you need

   Give us the area code and a quantity. We search live inventory and come back with what is actually available, including any repeating or sequential patterns worth having.

2. Step 2

   Point it wherever you want

   Route it to a seat, a ring group, an auto attendant, or straight down a SIP trunk into a PBX you already own. A number is not welded to one product on our network.

3. Step 3

   Register the 911 address

   Every number needs a validated street address so an emergency call reaches the right dispatcher. That is a legal requirement rather than an upsell, and it takes about a minute in the portal.

Already have a 213 number?

Bring it. Porting a local number in is $5.00 once and the number itself does not change. Numbers port out again just as freely if you ever leave, which is worth saying because not every carrier makes that straightforward.

1. 1

   You sign the LOA

   A letter of authorization proves the number is yours to move. We prepare it and send it over; you check the details and sign.

2. 2

   We request the port

   The request goes to your current carrier with a copy of your most recent bill, which is what they match the account details against.

3. 3

   They confirm a date

   The losing carrier accepts the request and returns a firm order commitment date. If they reject it, it is almost always a mismatched address or account number, and we fix it and resubmit.

4. 4

   The number cuts over

   On the agreed date the number starts ringing on our network. Your old service stays live until that moment, so there is no window where calls go nowhere.

Questions about 213 numbers

Can I get a 213 phone number?

Yes. We source local numbers in every US area code, and 213 is $1.00 per number per month with no contract. You choose the number, we provision it, and it is on your account without a wait in most cases.

Where does area code 213 cover?

The 213, 323 and 738 territory covers central Los Angeles, reaching from West Hollywood in the west to Montebello in the east. Pacific time applies across the whole of it, with daylight saving, so the working day opens three hours behind the eastern seaboard.

Do I need an office in California to use a 213 number?

No. A 213 number works from anywhere, and your team can be remote or spread across several states. What the number buys you is a local presence for the people calling you, which matters because a lot of people will not pick up an unfamiliar out-of-state number.

Does a 213 number mean a downtown Los Angeles address?

No. 213, 323 and 738 are assigned across one territory with no internal boundary, so any of the three can land at any address in it, downtown or in Hollywood or in the cities south-east of the centre. The code identifies central Los Angeles and nothing narrower. Your listed street address does the rest of the work.

Can I move my existing 213 number over?

Yes. Porting a local number in is $5.00 once and the number does not change. We prepare the paperwork and coordinate with your current carrier, and your existing service stays live right up to the agreed cutover.

What does a 213 number cost in total?

The number is $1.00 per month. If you also need a phone system to answer it on, seats start at $19.95 per user per month with every feature included at every tier. If you already run a PBX, point a SIP trunk at the number instead and pay per minute.
