  Area code 917 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 917 is a New York City telephone area code; it is the standard cellular/pager/voicemail phone area code for all of the city's boroughs and is an overlay to 212, 347, 646 and 718.
Although 917 was originally established as a service-specific area code available in all of the five boroughs, it is now most commonly associated with the borough of Manhattan.
In Manhattan, however, area code 646 is beginning to overtake this role, as is likewise the case with area code 347 in the outer boroughs.

 Separate Area Codes Urged For Cell Phones
Area codes were first used here in 1947 -- the initial three were 415, 916 and 213.
An area code just for wireless phones or pagers, could ``reduce the rate of demand that wireless carriers have on the existing area code, and you might be able to slow down the rate at which you add new area codes,'' said Natalie Billingsley of the commission's Office of Ratepayer Advocates.
Setting up a separate area code for fax machines is impossible since the telephone network can't tell the difference between a voice call, which carries conversations and a data call, which carries information, Billingsley said.

In addition to considering technology-specific area codes, the notice of proposed rulemaking by the Common Carrier and Wireless Telecommunications bureaus proposes distributing telephone numbers to telecommunications carriers in blocks of 1,000 instead of 10,000, and requiring carriers to purchase numbers.
The FCC has denied petitions for technology-specific area codes in the Chicago area and in Texas since allowing the 917 overlay area code to be opened in New York City as wireless only in 1995.
Although that was intended to slow the depletion of numbers in the 212 area code in the city, wireline numbers eventually were added to the 917 code after the 212 code reached exhaust.

 NYPSC Final Decision on NYC Area Codes
The 212 area code is expected to run out of available central office codes as early as the first quarter of 1998; the 718 code is now expected similarly to exhaust early in 1999; and the 917 area code is expected to exhaust in fall of 1999.
When area codes are needed in the future, the overlay establishes the framework to add a new area code without debate or disruption." Finally, New York Telephone disputes the concerns regarding the overlay's potential anticompetitive effects.
It notes, among other things, the Colorado Commission's observation that an overlay promotes code conservation, inasmuch as it uses NXX codes with the new area code for growth purposes only, in contrast to a geographic split, where new codes need to be assigned earlier to allow for a permissive dialing period.

 Conservation Fears Bring Wireless Area Codes Back To The Table Mobile Phone News - Find Articles
While the wireless market has managed to avoid industry-specific area codes so far, a growing number of states are hurling themselves against regulatory barriers as concern over number exhaust grows more intense.
State officials argue that, given wireless is the fastest growing segment of the telecom market, the creation of wirelessspecific area codes would significantly slow the depletion of numbers in surrounding area codes.
Carriers, however, strongly have opposed wireless area codes on the grounds that customer resistance to changing phone numbers or dialing extra digits to place local calls would make it difficult for providers to compete with their wireline counterparts.
