Area Code 907 History and Coverage

Area code 907 became operational in January 1957, when Alaska was still a United States Territory and two years before statehood. Its creation occurred as part of an expansion of the North American Numbering Plan that included code assignments beyond the initial ones of 1947. The federal record of numbering identifies 907 as a general purpose geographic code for Alaska, and it continues as the statewide code of Alaska.

The coverage of this code includes the Panhandle near Juneau, the Interior area close to Fairbanks, western Alaska bordering on the Bering Sea, the North Slope area, and the Aleutian Islands. The code covers communities that are separated by mountains, waterways, and vast tracts of wilderness in a single numbering plan area. Residential subscribers, businesses, public agencies, and mobile companies use the code, and this reflects the usual nature of a general purpose geographic code. The 1957 creation of the code also pre-dates the subsequent era of code creation through splits and overlays in most United States states.
