Why Choose a 971 Area Code?
The 971 area code serves northwestern Oregon, including the Portland metropolitan area, Salem, and surrounding regions. Originally, these areas were served only by the 503 area code, but with growing demand for phone numbers, 971 was introduced as an overlay. That means both area codes are active in the same region, giving you more number options without compromising geographic relevance.
With a 971 number, your business gains instant credibility in Oregon's thriving economic hub, ideal for businesses in tech, manufacturing, healthcare, and local services.
