Anchorage, Alaska

Where Is Area Code 907?

Area code 907 serves the entire state of Alaska. It covers Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Wasilla, Sitka, Ketchikan, and many smaller communities across the state. Alaska does not divide its telephone service into multiple area codes, so 907 is the only area code in statewide use.

In Anchorage, area code 907 covers Alaska's largest city and the surrounding Municipality of Anchorage. It also serves communities across organized boroughs and the unorganized borough, because the code is statewide. Major geographic features within the 907 area include Denali, Cook Inlet, the Alaska Range, and parts of the Arctic coast.

History of Area Code 907

Area code 907 was established in 1957. It was created when Alaska was still a U.S. territory, two years before Alaska became the 49th state in 1959. Before 1957, Alaska used area code 703 under the North American Numbering Plan.

Area code 907 has never been split and has never had an overlay. Alaska's small population and large geographic size allowed one statewide area code to continue serving the state as telephone service expanded in Anchorage and other communities.
