Questions about this area code
Where is area code 716?
716 is a New York area code covering Buffalo, Tonawanda and Jamestown. NANPA's report lists 768 exchanges in use across 79 rate centres.
Is 716 a mobile or a landline area code?
Both. An area code doesn't decide the line type: mobile, landline and VoIP numbers all use 716, and numbers move between carriers. Check the number itself to see what it is today.
Which area codes overlay 716?
None in NANPA's current report: no other area code has numbers in half of 716's rate centres.
Can you tell me who owns a 716 number?
No. NumberLookup shows whether a number is valid, its line type, its carrier and its region, never the person or business behind it.
Source: NANPA's public central office code and thousands-block reports, refreshed weekly. Carriers are the ones the numbers were assigned to, not necessarily today's, and never the person who uses a number.
