Coverage

Where does the 703 area code apply?

The 703 area code serves Northern Virginia: Arlington County, the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church, and parts of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Fauquier counties. It was assigned in 1947 as one of the original 86 North American Numbering Plan area codes and originally covered the entire state of Virginia, before splits in 1973 (804) and 1995 (540) narrowed it down to today's Washington DC suburbs.

Overlay code 571 was added to the same territory in 2000 to meet demand. A 703 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Northern Virginia customers, wherever your team works from.

Phone number essentials

What to know about a virtual 703 number

703 serves Northern Virginia, the Washington DC suburbs on the Virginia side. It shares this area with overlay code 571 and operates in the Eastern Time Zone.

Number format

+1 703 XXX XXXX internationally; 703-XXX-XXXX within the United States.

Local dialing

Ten-digit dialing is required across the 703/571 complex: the area code followed by the seven-digit local number.

Number type

Cloud operation

Same territory

703 or 571: which should you choose?

Both area codes cover the same Northern Virginia territory. 703 is the historic code, narrowed to this region after two splits; 571 was layered on top as an overlay in 2000. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.

Why 703

Why choose a 703 number for your business?

703 is Northern Virginia's historic area code, serving the Washington DC suburbs since a pair of statewide splits set its current footprint in the 1970s and 1990s. It gives a business a contact point tied to the Capital Region's Virginia side, even when its team works remotely.
