Area code 814

Area code 814 serves Pennsylvania, including Erie, Altoona and Johnstown (Eastern time). It has been in service since January 1, 1947 and shares its area with 582.

Numbers starting with 814 drew 1,768 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 425 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so an 814 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 814 exchanges
