Find any 838- phone number in New York
The 838 area code is one of many area codes assigned to the North American Numbering Plan area, which is an integrated phone numbering system used in the United States and Canada. This area code is part of the overlay plan for the state of New York, and serves much of the state's Upstate and western regions, including the cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Binghamton. It was created in 2017, when the 938 area code was split from the original 518 area code.
The 838 area code is part of the NANPA's system, which divides a geographic area into ten-digit local phone numbers, including the area code, a central office prefix, and a four-digit line number. When telephone service was initially introduced to the area, the primary area code was created, but as time progressed and more phone numbers were needed, additional area codes were assigned according to demand, from the simplest division of a one area code to a multiple area code system. The 838 area code is one of 107 codes assigned forthe North American Numbering Plan area.
