Geographic Regions and Area Codes

The newly introduced 624 area code serves as an overlay to the existing 716 area code in Western New York. This means it covers the same geographic regions, including the cities of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Jamestown, West Seneca, and Tonawanda. The area spans four counties: Erie, Cattaraugus, Niagara, and Chautauqua. The overlay requires 10-digit dialing for all local calls, ensuring that businesses and residents can continue to use their existing numbers while new numbers are assigned under the 624 area code.

Key regions and their area codes:

  • Buffalo: 716, 624
  • Niagara Falls: 716, 624
  • Jamestown: 716, 624
  • West Seneca: 716, 624
  • Tonawanda: 716, 624
