Area code 907, Telephone prefix in Alaska, United States
Area code 907 covers all of Alaska, making it the geographically largest telephone numbering region in the United States telecommunications system. It serves urban centers, towns, and remote communities spread across the state's vast territory.
Area code 907 was established in 1957 following the installation of the Alaska submarine cable, which linked the state to the North American network. This connection brought reliable telecommunications to remote regions for the first time.
The area code 907 represents a connection point for diverse Alaskan communities, from urban centers to remote villages across the vast northern state.
Residents and businesses in Alaska must dial ten digits for local calls, including the area code 907. This requirement helps maintain a consistent system across the state's extensive territory.
Area code 907 crosses the 180th meridian through the Aleutian Islands, making it both the easternmost and westernmost telephone prefix in North America. This geographical quirk means calls within the same area code can span nearly the entire width of the planet.
