Yonkers, NY Area Code

Area code serving Yonkers

Yonkers sits in New York, part of the Northeast region and the Eastern Time zone. Its area code is 914, which covers Westchester County, just north of New York City. 914 has no overlay today, so every Yonkers landline and mobile number with a local code starts with 914.

914 has served the area since 1947, as one of the original 1947 North American area codes. 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 Yonkers phone number

Dialing in Yonkers

Yonkers is covered by the single area code 914 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.
