Area code 412

Area code 412 serves Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh Zone 1, Pittsburgh Suburban Zone 14 and Pittsburgh Zone 6 (Eastern time). It has been in service since January 1, 1947 and shares its area with 878.

Numbers starting with 412 drew 2,128 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 785 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 412 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 412 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 65% of these exchanges are pooled: their numbers are handed out in blocks of 1,000 to other carriers, so the holder below is not always the company serving a given number.
