Area code 417

Where area code 417 is

Area code 417 is a geographic area code in Missouri, in service since January 1, 1950, according to the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA). It is not part of an overlay, so every number in its territory starts with 417. It is in the Central time zone. The places with the most assigned exchanges include Springfield, Joplin, Branson, Bolivar, and Carthage. By population, its largest named places are Springfield, Joplin, Nixa, Ozark, and Republic.

Dialing 417 numbers

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 417 are dialed as ten digits (area code plus number) and toll calls as 1 plus ten digits. Ten-digit local dialing means the area code is part of how customers save and recognize your number, so print it in full everywhere. NANPA's dialing-plan note for this code reads: "1+10 digit permissible at service provider discretion."

Who holds 417 exchanges

65 carriers hold the 711 central office codes assigned in 417. Southwestern Bell has the most, with 99 (14%). 585 of the codes (82%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. Numbers can move between carriers through porting, so a code's holder tells you where the block started, not where every number lives now.

Rate centers and towns in 417

NANPA assigns each central office code to a rate center, the local calling area that decides whether a call is local or toll. 417 has codes in 155 rate centers. The table lists the rate centers with the most codes, with the matching Census place where the abbreviation could be matched.
