Area code 724

Where area code 724 is

724 is one of 15 geographic area codes serving Pennsylvania; NANPA records its in-service date as February 1, 1998. It is an overlay: 724 and 878 cover the same territory, so neighbors on the same street can have different area codes. It is in the Eastern time zone. The places with the most assigned exchanges include Greensburg, Washington, Uniontown, New Castle, and Butler. By population, its largest named places are Derry, New Castle, Butler, Washington, and Greensburg.

Ten-digit and seven-digit dialing in 724

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 724 are dialed as ten digits (area code plus number) and toll calls as ten digits (area code plus number). Because local calls need the area code, business cards, signage and website copy should always show the full ten-digit number. NANPA's dialing-plan note for this code reads: "All calls within and between NPAs 412 and 724 and 878 can be dialed as 10D or 1+10D. Calls to other NPAs must be dialed as 1+10D."

Who holds 724 exchanges

44 carriers hold the 783 central office codes assigned in 724. Verizon Pennsylvania, INC. has the most, with 165 (21%). 612 of the codes (78%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. The code holder is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number today, since numbers can be ported between providers.

Rate centers and towns in 724

NANPA assigns each central office code to a rate center, the local calling area that decides whether a call is local or toll. 724 has codes in 162 rate centers. Rate center names in the file are abbreviations; where one matches a Census place, the table links to that city's local-number page.

Number supply in 724

An area code has 800 possible central office codes that start with 2 through 9, a few of which are reserved (such as N11 service codes and 555). 783 are assigned in 724, 98% of 800. 5 were assigned in 2020 or later.

Getting a 724 number for your business

For $99 a month, Callata puts a team of up to 5 on one plan ($20 for each person after that): up to 3 local numbers, unlimited inbound calls, a pooled allowance of 1,500 outbound US and Canada minutes per user, browser and cell calling, voicemail transcription with urgency triage, recorded calls with AI summaries and business-hours routing, with E911 on every number.

Porting a number you already use in area code 724 is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
