About the 503 area code
Area code 503 reaches Portland, Salem, Beaverton, Gresham, and Hillsboro, a group of Oregon cities that keep their clocks on Pacific time.
One of the original assignments from 1947, 503 later gave rise to area code 541 through a split and gained 971 as an overlay sharing its footprint. With the overlay in place, ten digits are needed to complete a local call.
Dialing note: 503 is part of an overlay complex with 971, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
