What’s an area code really worth these days, anyway? For most people, it’s just three numbers you tap into your phone once and never think about again.
For Raphael Chejade-Bloom, though, it’s worth $100.
That’s what he paid through an online auction two years ago to get a 212 phone number — the first (and, any would argue, the finest) Manhattan area code. For anyone doing business in New York, a 212 showing up on your phone instantly conjures images of a phone in a glass-towered Midtown building calling you to discuss serious things. Chejade-Bloom, a native of San Diego who moved to the city 10 years ago, wanted that cachet.
“I looked at it like a piece of virtual real estate,” says the 32-year-old West Village resident, a principal at hospitality firm Guest Minded who also works in real estate. “No matter where you go in the world, when you tell someone you live in New York City, you get instant respect and credibility. That credibility will with me in the form of my phone number forever.”
That cred, however, is about to be further diluted: On Tuesday, the state Public Service Commission announced that in 2017, the city will get its first new area code in six years: 332. It’ll be the fourth in Manhattan and the seventh in the city overall, following in the footsteps of 212, one of the first batch of area codes issued in 1947; 718 (added for the outer boroughs in 1984); 917 (added originally for cellphones and pagers in 1992); 646 and 347 (both in 1999), and 929 (added in 2011).

I believe it is because New York is treated as a separate country. It is a very huge city locating millions of residents. And believe the whole country knows the codes of this city. It is the same story will all big cities in the world https://populationstat.com/canada/montreal [populationstat.com]. But even powerful systems are something exhausting their reserve and have to add new codes for the new areas and users. It is a natural process.

Nowadays, the city code is an integral part of our lives. It is true that many people look at your area code and draw conclusions for themselves. I recently moved with my family to Batavia, and for me, the area code in my phone number means nothing. On the contrary, when they see a certain code, they visualize a person and unconsciously choose a certain line of behavior with them. The realtor from the company https://www.boutiquehomeplans.com/cost-to-build [boutiquehomeplans.com], when he found out where I wanted to move to, warned me about it at once. But I did not care about that much because I was more interested in the plan of the house, walls, roof, and what will be interior. When choosing a property, the infrastructure of the house is important. Specialists help with that. They provide everything I need to feel peace of mind and confidence in a well-built house.
