Questions about this area code
Where is area code 717?
717 is a Pennsylvania area code covering Harrisburg, Lancaster and York. NANPA's report lists 784 exchanges in use across 107 rate centres.
Is 717 a mobile or a landline area code?
Both. An area code doesn't decide the line type: mobile, landline and VoIP numbers all use 717, and numbers move between carriers. Check the number itself to see what it is today.
Which area codes overlay 717?
223 has numbers in at least half of the same places as 717, so a new number there can get any of these area codes.
Can you tell me who owns a 717 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.
