What is Area code 917?
'''Area code 917''' is an [[area code]] for New York. It was created in 1992, as an overlay to area codes 212 and 718. This marks the first time an area code is overlaid, where an area code is added to an existing NPA, which would be a more common practice in the 2000s decade and beyond. It covers the entirety of New York City, including the Bronx. It was overlaid by 646 in July 1999,<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hu|first=Winnie|date=1999-06-30|title=In Manhattan, the 646 Area Code Is Correct, and it is still used in the modern day world|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/30/nyregion/in-manhattan-the-646-area-code-is-correct-but-somehow-wrong.html|access-date=2022-03-19|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> 347 in October 1999, 929 in 2011,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Newman|first=Andy|date=2011-04-15|title=Say Hello to 929|url=https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/say-hello-to-929/|access-date=2022-03-20|website=City Room|language=en-US}}</ref> and 332 in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Slattery|first=Denis|title=Manhattan to see new area code 332 next month|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/manhattan/manhattan-new-area-code-332-month-article-1.3131340|access-date=2022-03-19|website=nydailynews.com}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} == Other websites == * [http://www.nanpa.com/ North American Numbering Plan Administration] * [http://www.nanpa.com/area_code_maps/display.html?ny NANPA Area Code Map of New York] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150704192744/http://www.nanpa.com/area_code_maps/display.html?ny |date=2015-07-04 }} * [http://www.whitepages.com/10001/maps/NY Whitepages Area code Map] * [https://web.archive.org/web/20090322181633/http://www.areacodedownload.com/917/index.html List of exchanges from AreaCodeDownload.com, 917 Area Code] {{Area code box|left|State=NY | This=Area code 917 (overlays both [[area codes 212, 646, and 332|212/646/332]] and [[area codes 718, 347, and 929|718/347/929]]) | N=[[area code 914|914]], [[area code 845|845]], [[area code 203|203]]/[[ar
