Find any 215- phone number in Pennsylvania
The 215 area code covers most of southeastern Pennsylvania, including the state's largest city, Philadelphia. It is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) that governs which area codes are assigned to which geographic locations across the U.S., Canada, and several Caribbean countries.
The NANP was established in 1947 as a way to ensure people had easy access to telecommunication services. This meant that each state would be assigned a dedicated telephone area code to ensure that these services were easily accessible. 215 was assigned to the state of Pennsylvania in 1947 and covers the entire southeast as well as part of the southwest. Secondary area codes, such as 267, 484 and 610, were established in 1998 to accommodate the growing demand for phones and services in the region. The215 area code is now home to millions of people and businesses, and has become an important part of Pennsylvania culture.
