Area code 207, Telephone prefix in Maine, US
Area code 207 is the telephone prefix for the entire state of Maine in the United States. It covers all counties, cities, and towns across the state, from populated coastal regions to remote northern wilderness areas.
Area code 207 was established on January 1, 1947, as one of the original codes in the North American telephone numbering plan. It was created during the early development of the nationwide dialing system to serve all of Maine.
The area code connects people across Maine's fishing villages, forest towns, and rural areas into one communication network. It represents how the state maintains a single unified identity despite its geographic diversity.
Residents and businesses throughout Maine use this single area code for all local and long-distance telephone calls within the state. No additional regional codes are needed, which simplifies phone communication across Maine's entire territory.
Maine remains one of the few states that has kept a single area code since the establishment of the North American telephone numbering system in the 1940s. This distinction makes phone communication exceptionally straightforward throughout the entire state.
