Area code 484

Area code 484 serves Pennsylvania, including Allentown, Reading and Philadelphia Suburban Zone 30 (Eastern time). It has been in service since June 5, 1999 and shares its area with 610 and 835.

Numbers starting with 484 drew 1,642 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 774 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 484 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 484 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 92% 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.
