Area code 570

Area code 570 serves Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Williamsport (Eastern time). It has been in service since December 5, 1998 and shares its area with 272.

Numbers starting with 570 drew 2,419 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 413 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 570 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 570 exchanges
