Area code 917 · New York City

Get a 917 phone number for your business

917 is a New York City code that covers all five boroughs at once. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island are all inside it, which sets it apart from codes tied to one side of the East River. It stops at the city line: nothing on Long Island beyond Queens, nothing in New Jersey. We provision numbers on a network we own, which is why one costs $1.00 a month and is not tied to a contract.

What area code 917 covers

The boundary is the city boundary. Nassau County, Westchester and the New Jersey side are served by other codes entirely. Eastern time with daylight saving governs the whole footprint, which is one fewer thing to think about when routing calls between boroughs.

The code that ignores borough lines

Most New York codes belong to part of the city: 212, 646 and 332 serve Manhattan, and 718, 347 and 929 serve Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. 917 belongs to all of it. It shares its ground with every one of those codes, which is why a caller in the city dials ten digits whichever code is on the other end.

What the 917 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
917
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 917 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 917 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 917 numbers

Can I get a 917 phone number?
Yes. We source local numbers in every US area code, and 917 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 917 cover?
The boundary is the city boundary. Nassau County, Westchester and the New Jersey side are served by other codes entirely. Eastern time with daylight saving governs the whole footprint, which is one fewer thing to think about when routing calls between boroughs.
Do I need an office in New York to use a 917 number?
No. A 917 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 917 number tie a business to one borough?
No. 917 runs across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island alike, so the digits carry no borough of their own, unlike 212 or 718. What it will not do is stand in for a suburban number: if your customers are in Nassau, Westchester or northern New Jersey, they are on different codes and a 917 line is a city line to them.
Can I move my existing 917 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 917 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.
