Coverage
Where does the 917 area code apply?
The 917 area code overlays all five boroughs of New York City: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Introduced on February 4, 1992, it was the very first overlay area code ever added to the North American Numbering Plan, originally set aside for wireless phones and pagers.
In Manhattan, 917 shares its numbers with 212, 646 and 332; in the other boroughs, it overlays 347, 718 and 929. A 917 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your New York customers, wherever your team works from.

Citywide coverage
917, 212 or 646: which should you choose?
917 was the first overlay ever added to the North American Numbering Plan, in 1992, originally for mobile lines. Unlike 212, 646 and 332, which serve Manhattan only, 917 spans all five boroughs. Number availability at activation usually settles the choice.
Why 917
