About 267 Area Code
Area code 267 serves Philadelphia and portions of southeastern Pennsylvania. Introduced on July 1, 1999 as an overlay to the original 215 area code, 267 covers the identical geographic territory including all of Philadelphia County and extending into eastern Montgomery County and southern Bucks County. The code operates as part of a three-way overlay with 215 and 445, serving approximately 4 million people across the metro region. All three codes cover the same cities and communities, requiring 10-digit dialing for all calls.
The 267 region anchors Philadelphia's diverse economy through healthcare, education, financial services, biotechnology, and tourism. Major employers span industries from universities (University of Pennsylvania, Temple, Drexel) to healthcare systems (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Penn Medicine) to Fortune 500 companies like Comcast and major pharmaceutical firms. Local businesses use 267 numbers for patient scheduling, student services, client support, reservations, and delivery coordination. A recognizable local number increases answer rates because callers trust familiar area codes over distant or toll-free prefixes.
FoneSwift lists live 267 inventory and capabilities on this page. Search numbers to see Voice, SMS, and MMS support. Area code 267 shares the same geographic coverage as 215 and 445, so if a 267 number is not immediately available, both overlay codes deliver identical local presence. This flexibility ensures you can secure a Philadelphia-area number even when specific prefix inventory fluctuates.
If your business targets Philadelphia or southeastern Pennsylvania, publish numbers in both local and E.164 formats (e.g., (267) 555-1234 and +1 267 555 1234) and register messaging traffic if you plan A2P campaigns. Porting is supported when carriers allow geographic transfers. Many businesses retain the same number to preserve brand recognition and customer familiarity, especially in markets where local identity drives trust and engagement.

How Does Local 267 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 267 number in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, 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 (267): directs the call to the Philadelphia / Pennsylvania 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) | +1 267 555 1234 |
| Local Format (National) | (267) 555-1234 |
