Area code 317 · Indianapolis, Indiana

Get a 317 phone number for your business

317 covers Marion County and parts of the counties ringing it, which is to say Indianapolis and the suburbs immediately around it. It is a metro code rather than a state or regional one: the rest of central Indiana answers to 765, and the south of the state to 812. A new line in the metro may be issued on 317 or on 463. We provision numbers on a network we own, which is why one costs $1.00 a month and is not tied to a contract.

$1.00 per number, per month
$5.00 one-time to port a local number in

What area code 317 covers

The footprint is Marion County and parts of the counties bordering it, reaching Carmel and Noblesville to the north and Greenwood to the south. Indianapolis and the surrounding counties keep Eastern time and observe daylight saving, so the working day tracks the East Coast.

Metro Indianapolis, not central Indiana

317 stops at the edge of the Indianapolis metro. Lafayette, Muncie and Kokomo are 765, which wraps around 317 to the north, east and west; the south of the state is 812, with 930 on the same ground. Inside the metro, 463 covers exactly what 317 covers, so ten-digit dialling applies and either code may land on a new number.

What the 317 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.

+1
Country code North American Numbering Plan
317
Area code Called the NPA in carrier systems
555
Exchange The NXX, a block within the area code
0147
Line number The individual line on that block
The example uses the 555-0100 block, which is reserved for fiction, so it does not ring anyone.

How to get a 317 number

  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. 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. 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 317 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 317 numbers

Can I get a 317 phone number?
Yes. We source local numbers in every US area code, and 317 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 317 cover?
The footprint is Marion County and parts of the counties bordering it, reaching Carmel and Noblesville to the north and Greenwood to the south. Indianapolis and the surrounding counties keep Eastern time and observe daylight saving, so the working day tracks the East Coast.
Do I need an office in Indiana to use a 317 number?
No. A 317 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.
Will a new Indianapolis line be 317 or 463?
Either. The two codes cover identical territory, so a number issued in the metro may carry 317 or 463, and both are equally local across Indianapolis. Tell us at the point of order if 317 matters to you and we will take the preference into account. On every call the two behave the same, and dialling is ten digits regardless.
Can I move my existing 317 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 317 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.
