About the 971 area code
The Portland area of Oregon dials with area code 971 as well as 503. Salem, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Gresham fall under the same pair of codes, and the territory sits in the Pacific time zone (GMT -8).
Introduced in 2000, 971 was layered over the existing 503 region as an overlay rather than splitting it. That design left boundaries unchanged but made ten-digit dialing the rule for local calls.
Dialing note: 971 is part of an overlay complex with 503, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
