Ten-digit and seven-digit dialing in 914

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 914 are dialed as ten digits (area code plus number) and toll calls as ten digits (area code plus number).

Carriers with 914 numbers

42 carriers hold the 704 central office codes assigned in 914. Verizon New York, INC. has the most, with 182 (26%). 520 of the codes (74%) 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.

Where 914 numbers are rated

NANPA assigns each central office code to a rate center, the local calling area that decides whether a call is local or toll. 914 has codes in 36 rate centers. The table lists the rate centers with the most codes, with the matching Census place where the abbreviation could be matched.

Optional AI agents (receptionist, sales, support or scheduler) can answer calls after hours or when nobody picks up, take messages, text, email and transfer to your team. They are billed from prepaid AI minutes at $0.25 per minute, identify themselves as AI, and may only place outbound calls to people who consented, between 8am and 9pm.
