Area code 717

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Area code 717 is a Pennsylvania telephone area code which serves South Central Pennsylvania, predominantly used in the Harrisburg-Lancaster-York metropolitan areas. Area code 717 was one of the original area codes established in 1947. The 717 area code was split on December 5, 1998 creating area code 570.

Of the total numbers that telephone companies have in the 717 area code, 52% have been given to customers and 48% remain to be assigned. (Percentages as of May 2005.) On 7/1/2009 NANPA reported that the 717 NPA would exhaust the available number pool by the 3rd quarter of 2012. Current recommendation is to overlay a new area code.
