About Area Code 207
Area code 207 is a North American Numbering Plan (NANP) area code that has been in service since 1947. It is administered by NANPA on behalf of the FCC and serves the Maine region anchored on Portland.
207 is currently a single-coverage geographic area code with no overlays. This means a 7-digit number in this area code is unique within its rate centers, though best-practice is always to dial the full 10-digit number when contacting a 207 line.
Mobile numbers in 207 are portable: a person who moved away from Portland may still carry a 207 mobile number on their device. If you receive an unexpected call from a 207 number, run it through the reverse lookup tool above for the most accurate, free identification.
