Why Choose a 279 Area Code?
Area code 279 serves the greater Sacramento area, including surrounding cities like Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Roseville. It was introduced as an overlay to 916 due to growing demand in this bustling region.
Choosing a 279 number gives you a local presence in California's capital without needing a physical office, the same geographic coverage as the 916 area code, and a way to appear familiar and trustworthy to local customers and partners.
