About the 917 area code
New York is the home of area code 917, whose numbers appear across Brooklyn, the Bronx, Jamaica, and other parts of New York City. The code keeps Eastern time.
First used in 1992, 917 was placed on top of the 212 area instead of being split from it. It now sits in a large overlay complex that includes 212, 646, 718, 347, and 929, and every local call requires ten digits.
Dialing note: 917 is part of an overlay complex with 212, 332, 646, 917, 347, 465, 718, 929, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
