Grow your business using a NY area code

New York is a state that needs no introduction, being home to perhaps the most famous city in the world and certainly the most famous city in the US: New York City. The Big Apple is visited by millions of tourists year-round and is home to a truly diverse population, all of whom have a sense of pride in the city’s rich history.

Not only that, but the city is home to thriving businesses across all industries. Some of the most popular fields include financial services, education, and retail, but there are successful small businesses in just about every sector imaginable.

But a NY phone number provides access to areas outside of the Big Apple, as well. A local number for this state can extend your reach as far as Mount Vernon and Niagara Falls.

Additional Information about NY phone numbers

The 212 is one of the oldest area codes in the country, being one of the original 86 created by AT&T in the late 1940s. Originally, it served all five boroughs of NYC, but now it is one of the smallest NPAs—number plan areas—according to the area covered.

New York residents are often quite protective over their area codes. This is because many of the older codes have come to be seen as status symbols. Nonetheless, a rising need for landlines and mobile numbers has meant that more codes have continued to be added to the state. These new area codes have risen in popularity, with codes like 917 and 718 covering some of the most popular parts of the city.

Important points about New York telephone numbers

The NY area code and other parts of a phone number

A New York number is composed in the same way as any other telephone number in the US. It is made up of a few parts: a one-digit country code, a three-digit local area code, and a seven-digit phone number. This seven-digit phone number is composed of a three-digit exchange number followed by a four-digit subscriber phone number. A number example might be something like 1-212-1234567.

Is a New York local number or a toll-free number better for my business?

Whether you choose a toll-free or a local number depends on what your aims are. If you’d like to encourage your customers to call you, then a toll-free number might be best; this means your company will cover the cost of all incoming calls, taking the pressure off your clients. Here at MightyCall, we offer both options, letting you choose the one that best suits your needs.

Will people be able to tell that I’m not in NY even if I have a New York area code number?

No, people will not be able to tell that you’re not in NYC if you use a New York prefix. When you use one of these codes with our virtual phone numbers, it will seem to your customer as if the call is coming from a number in New York.
