Find any 347- phone number in New York
The 347 area code is used in the US state of New York and was created in the year 2000 to serve parts of the New York City area. The 347 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan, which is the telephone numbering plan of North America. This plan divides up the area into location-based area codes, designating different geographical sections of the country and forcing subscribers to dial the appropriate area code first before dialing the number they are trying to reach. The 347 area code encompasses the Bronx, Queens, and parts of Brooklyn, making it a major player in the New York City area.
The North American Numbering Plan itself is administered by the North American Numbering Plan Administration, an independent organization that administers the number plan throughout Canada, the United States, and a handful of other countries in the Caribbean. This system is an organic numbering plan that was designed by individual phone companies, so pieces of caller identification can be identified and tracked through the process of identifying the area's local service provider. This also aids law enforcement with the ability to more accurately trace calls and pinpoint locations for more localized call tracking.
