About 347 Area Code
Area code 347 serves New York City's outer boroughs, covering Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and the Marble Hill section of Manhattan. Introduced on October 1, 1999 as an overlay to area code 718, it addresses the growing demand for phone numbers in NYC's most diverse and densely populated communities. The code supports local voice and SMS-capable numbers used by businesses, healthcare providers, restaurants, retailers and creative enterprises across all four outer boroughs. With over 23 million numbers available, 347 has become a recognized symbol of outer borough identity.
The outer boroughs drive New York City's economic growth with booming tech startups in Brooklyn, diverse small businesses in Queens, manufacturing hubs in the Bronx, and logistics operations on Staten Island. Local businesses use 347 numbers for customer service, delivery coordination, appointment scheduling and neighborhood marketing. These numbers deliver higher answer rates than toll-free alternatives because they signal authentic local presence and community connection in areas where trust and neighborhood identity matter. From Williamsburg's creative scene to Flushing's international commerce, a 347 number connects you to NYC's most dynamic growth markets.
FoneSwift lists live 347 inventory with detailed capability information on this page. Search numbers to verify Voice, SMS and MMS support. As a popular overlay code serving over 7 million residents, availability depends on current demand. If 347 inventory is limited, nearby codes like 718 (same boroughs), 929 (newer overlay), or 917 (citywide mobile) provide strong outer borough presence. For businesses targeting specific neighborhoods, local area codes outperform Manhattan's 212 or 646 in community-focused markets.
For businesses targeting Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island, display phone numbers in both local and E.164 formats (e.g., (347) 555-1234 and +1 347 555 1234) and register messaging traffic for A2P campaigns to ensure compliance. For number porting, check our porting guide. Many NYC businesses maintain their existing numbers during provider transitions to preserve neighborhood recognition and customer familiarity. In markets where local identity drives trust, keeping your established 347 number protects your community reputation.

How Does Local 347 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 347 number in Brooklyn and New York, 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 (347): directs the call to the Brooklyn / New York 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) | +1 347 555 1234 |
| Local Format (National) | (347) 555-1234 |
