203 Area Code

Port Your Number or Get a Connecticut Overlay Code with DialLink

Want to reach clients in Stamford, New Haven, or Bridgeport? The 203 area code is one of the most widely recognized in Connecticut and shows your business is embedded in the state's economic core. However, due to high demand, new 203 numbers are no longer available. If you already have a 203 number, you can easily port it to DialLink. If not, overlay code 475 is available now and covers the exact same region.
With DialLink, startups and SMBs can secure a local Connecticut number and run all business communications through our powerful AI-powered cloud phone system — with no complex setup or IT overhead.

Why Choose a 203 Area Code?

The 203 area code covers Southwestern Connecticut, including major cities like Stamford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Danbury. It was one of the original area codes created in 1947 and is deeply associated with the state's financial, academic, and healthcare centers.
Due to the limited availability of 203 numbers, 475 was introduced as an overlay. Both codes now serve the same area, so whether you get a 203 or 475 number, your business will have strong local recognition in Southern Connecticut.
