Area code 747

Area code 747 serves California, including Burbank, Canoga Park and Glendale (Pacific time). It has been in service since May 18, 2009 and shares its area with 818.

Numbers starting with 747 drew 903 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 452 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 747 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 747 exchanges
