Find any 267- phone number in Pennsylvania
The 267 area code is a telephone area code assigned to the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) in Pennsylvania. It is one of the original area codes assigned in Pennsylvania in 1958 and covers the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Despite being one of the most populated geographic areas in the state, the 267 area code remains and is one of the most recognized area codes in the United States. Prior to 1998, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was entirely served by the 215 area code. As the population grew, more numbers were needed and the 267 area code was added to the region to continue providing telephone services.
The North American Numbering Plan is an integrated system put in place to provide uniform numbering for telephone services across multiple nations. The system assigns a distinctive code for each area based on population size, geography, and technology so that each individual area code is exclusive and can be identified from others. The NANP allows for customers to make local, long-distance, and international calls. The system also allows for identifying location from a phone number, making it easy for providers and customers to communicate properly.
