Would you like to share a little secret with us? A local phone number can be your business's golden ticket to winning customer trust in the East Bay. When you're serving communities like Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont, and Hayward, having a 510 area code isn't just about digits on a business card; it's about telling locals, "we're your neighbors!"
The East Bay is buzzing with opportunity. With 22 cities, four counties, and over 5.6 million potential customers, this region presents a goldmine for businesses. Local phone numbers increase your business credibility by creating that instant East Bay connection. Pair that local 510 number with GoodCall's AI-powered answering service, and suddenly you're not just regional - you're also always available.
The 510 area code encompasses California's vibrant East Bay region, serving 22 cities across four counties. It's the calling card for Oakland's urban energy, where businesses thrive, Berkeley's innovative spirit, Fremont's tech scene, and Hayward's diverse community. The Berkeley Hills create a natural boundary between different area codes in the region.
In Bay Area phone code history, the 510 has serious street cred, established on September 2, 1991, when it was split from the original 415 area code to accommodate the growing population and telecommunications demand in the East Bay. Later, on March 14, 1998, the inland portion of the East Bay was split off as area code 925, with the Berkeley Hills serving as the dividing line; areas west of the hills remained in area code 510, while the eastern regions moved to area code 925. To address number exhaustion, the 510 area code now shares its territory with the newer overlay code 341, introduced in 2019, which required ten-digit dialing across the region.
Having a 510 number plants your business firmly in the San Francisco Bay Area ecosystem, connecting you to a diverse and economically vibrant region known for its innovation, culture, and community.
The 510 area code follows Pacific Time (GMT -08:00), which is Pacific Standard Time (PST) during standard time and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) when daylight saving time is in effect. With a 510 number, you're perfectly in sync with San Francisco's financial district and Silicon Valley's tech campuses. The three-hour time difference from Eastern Time gives you a significant operational advantage; you can catch East Coast clients before their day ends, then still have plenty of time for local business in the afternoon.
Working with international clients becomes seamless when you're wrapping up your day in Oakland or Berkeley, as Tokyo and Shanghai are just starting theirs, perfect timing for handoffs and international collaboration. GoodCall's AI answering service catches every call 24/7 in this always-on Bay Area environment.
Having a local 510 number is your first step to earning customer trust and demonstrating that you're truly part of the East Bay community.
