The 716 area code is an area code used to identify telephone numbers in Western New York.

The 716 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). This system is a system of numbering resources used for public communications in the United States and some other countries. It is administered by an independent organization called the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA). Telephone numbers assigned within the NANP are nine digits, consisting of an area code, exchange code and subscriber number. The 716 area code is the first three digits of any phone number; it is used to designate which geographic region or city the number belongs to. NANP area codes are used to efficiently manage telephone numbers by dividing geographical areas into smaller, more manageable units.
