History of the 646 Area CodeDetailed View
Area code 646 was established in 1999 as an overlay to the original 212 area code, serving Manhattan and parts of the Bronx in New York City. Created to meet the explosive demand for phone numbers during the dot-com boom and the rise of mobile telecommunications in the late 1990s, 646 became the primary area code for new business lines throughout Manhattan.
The area code encompasses one of the world's most important financial, cultural, and business centers, including Wall Street, the Fashion District, and numerous corporate headquarters. Today, 646 is recognized globally as synonymous with Manhattan's prestigious business community and elite professional services.
