Find any 445- phone number in Pennsylvania
The 445 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan and is used in Pennsylvania as an overlay to supplement the existing 717 and 272 area codes. It was created in 2018 by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission to provide additional telephone numbers due to the rapid growth in the state's population. 445 was the 15th area code implemented in the state and serves parts of the Harrisburg and York regions, as well as parts of the surrounding counties. This area includes the cities of Middletown, Hershey, and New Cumberland.
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a structured area code and telephone numbering system used for communication in the United States, Canada, and other parts of the Americas. This number system is based on an area code followed by a seven-digit local number and is administered by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator. This system divides the available telephone numbers into an area code followed by a prefix that routes each call to its respective area. Overlays are used when the initial prefixes are insufficient, with 445 being the latest overlay in Pennsylvania.
