Anchorage, AK Area Code

Area code serving Anchorage

Anchorage sits in Alaska, part of the West region and the Alaska Time zone. Its area code is 907, which covers all of Alaska, from Anchorage and Fairbanks to Juneau and the remote bush. 907 has no overlay today, so every Anchorage landline and mobile number with a local code starts with 907.

907 has served the area since 1957. If the region runs low on numbers, regulators will most likely add an overlay code on top rather than split the area, which would make 10-digit dialing mandatory.

Getting a Anchorage phone number

Any new landline, mobile or VoIP number from a local carrier in Anchorage gets the 907 area code. Numbers come from the blocks each carrier holds in the area; a number ported in from elsewhere keeps its original area code, so you may also see out-of-state codes locally.

Dialing in Anchorage

Anchorage is covered by the single area code 907 with no overlay, so some local calls may still connect with seven digits. Dialing all 10 digits (area code + seven-digit number) always works and is the safest habit. From outside the US, dial +1, then the area code and number. See 10-digit dialing and overlay area codes for the background. For every code in Alaska, visit the Alaska area codes page.
