About 667 Area Code
Area code 667 serves eastern Maryland, covering Baltimore, Towson, Dundalk, Ellicott City, Columbia and Annapolis. Introduced on March 24, 2012, as the second overlay to area codes 410 and 443, it was created to address continued number exhaustion driven by mobile phones and business expansion in the growing Baltimore metro area. Today, 667 shares its geographic footprint with 410 and 443 across 16 counties including Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Howard and Harford counties. The region supports local voice and SMS-capable numbers used by healthcare institutions, cybersecurity firms, port logistics and professional services.
The 667 region powers Maryland's healthcare and technology economy, anchored by Johns Hopkins University and Hospital, which generates billions in annual economic activity and employs tens of thousands. Proximity to Fort Meade and NSA headquarters has created a thriving cybersecurity sector, while the Port of Baltimore drives international trade and logistics operations. Businesses use 667 numbers for patient scheduling, security consultations, maritime coordination, government contracting and professional client communications. Local numbers dramatically improve answer rates compared to toll-free alternatives because they signal regional presence and build immediate trust with Baltimore metro residents.
FoneSwift displays live 667 inventory with Voice, SMS and MMS capabilities on this page. Search numbers to see which features each one supports. Since 667 overlays with 410 and 443 across the same geographic footprint, if a specific 667 number isn't available, consider 410 or 443 for identical local coverage. All three codes serve the same communities and deliver equal local recognition without any geographic distinction.
If your business targets Baltimore, Annapolis or the Eastern Shore, publish numbers in both standard and international formats (e.g., (667) 555-1234 and +1 667 555 1234). Register A2P messaging if you plan business SMS campaigns to ensure carrier compliance and deliverability. For porting existing numbers, consult our porting guide. Since 667 was introduced in 2012, it's now well-established and recognized as a local code by Baltimore-area residents.

How Does Local 667 Phone Numbers Work?
A local business number is a structured telephone identifier that tells networks where to route calls and messages. When you use a 667 number in Baltimore and Maryland, the digits signal the international gateway, the geographic region, the local exchange and the specific subscriber, so calls reach the right destination quickly and reliably.
The typical parts of a United States local number are:
- Country code (+1): identifies United States for international routing.
- Area code (667): directs the call to the Baltimore / Maryland region.
- Central office / exchange (eg. 555): narrows the call to a local switching area or rate center.
- Subscriber number (eg. 1234): the unique line assigned to a person, extension, or device.
Example formats:
| International Format (E.164) | +1 667 555 1234 |
| Local Format (National) | (667) 555-1234 |
