Establish a Local Presence in Oakland and the East Bay

No Office Needed

Want to connect with customers in Oakland, Fremont, or Berkeley? The 510 area code is one of the most recognized in Northern California, known for its strong local identity and connection to the greater San Francisco Bay Area. However, due to demand, new 510 numbers are no longer being issued. If you already have a 510 number, you can easily port it to DialLink. If not, overlay code 341 is available now and serves the same region.
With DialLink, startups and SMBs can activate a local East Bay number and manage their entire phone system from one AI-powered platform built to help you scale communications with ease.

Why Choose a 510 Area Code?

The 510 area code covers Alameda County and western Contra Costa County, including cities like Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Fremont, Richmond, and Hayward. It was introduced in 1991 to serve the East Bay’s fast-growing population and remains a key identifier for businesses.
Due to number exhaustion, 341 was introduced as an overlay for 510. Today, both codes cover the same area and allow you to maintain a local presence in one of California’s most dynamic metro regions.
