Area code 339

Area code 339 serves Massachusetts, including Lynn, Bryantville and Weymouth (Eastern time). It has been in service since May 2, 2001 and shares its area with 781.

Numbers starting with 339 drew 341 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 355 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 339 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 339 exchanges
