List of Massachusetts area codes
Massachusetts is divided into five distinct numbering plan areas (NPAs), which are served by nine area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP),[1] organized as four overlay complexes and a single-area code NPA.
Eastern Massachusetts has area codes 339, 351, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857, and 978.[2] Western Massachusetts has area code 413.[2]
The numbering plan areas are organized into two local access and transport areas (LATAs): 126 comprises the western part, and 128 covers the central and eastern parts.[3]

Just three years ago, two new area codes were created in Massachusetts by splitting existing area codes in half. The 781 area code was carved out of the 617 code and the 978 area code was carved out of the 508 area code. With the addition of the four new overlay codes, Massachusetts will have nine area codes.
