Area code 845

Area code 845 serves New York, including Poughkeepsie, Newburgh and Spring Valley (Eastern time). It has been in service since June 5, 2000 and shares its area with 329.

Numbers starting with 845 drew 1,710 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 926 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so an 845 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 845 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 83% 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.
