1,925,671 residents across 2 counties, counted inside the 747 boundary — a county split between codes contributes only its part.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 747 Area Code

Who called me from a 747 number?

A 747 number is assigned to Los Angeles, California, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 747 code to look nearby, so a 747 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 603 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 747 code (51% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.

Is 747 a scam area code?

No area code is a scam on its own. 747 is a normal, officially assigned code for Los Angeles, California. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 747 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 603 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 747 code (51% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.

Why do I keep getting calls from the 747 area code?

Repeated calls from different 747 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 747 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 603 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 747 code (51% flagged as robocalls). Blocking one number rarely helps; voicemail screening, your carrier spam filter, and the Do Not Call Registry work better.

Should I answer an unknown 747 number?

If you aren't expecting a 747 call, let it ring to voicemail. Legitimate callers leave a message, most robocallers hang up when no one picks up, and answering can mark your number as active and bring more calls.

How do I block calls from the 747 area code?

Block a single 747 number from your recent-calls list (iPhone: tap the number, then Block this Caller; Android: tap the number, then Block or report spam). To cut the volume, turn on Silence Unknown Callers on iPhone or spam protection on Android, enable spam filtering from your carrier, and register at DoNotCall.gov. Blocking the entire 747 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.

Where is area code 747?

Area code 747 covers Los Angeles and the surrounding area in California, spanning 16 cities with about 1,925,671 residents. It shares its area with overlay code 818.

When did area code 747 go into service?

Area code 747 went into service on May 18, 2009. It was added as an overlay of 818, so 747 numbers serve the same area that 818 already covered.

Is 747 a real area code?

Yes. 747 is an active code in the North American Numbering Plan, assigned by NANPA and in service for Los Angeles, California. A real code can still show up on spoofed spam calls, so treat unknown 747 calls with normal caution.

What timezone is the 747 area code in?

The 747 area code is in the Pacific Time (PT). Because a number can be kept when someone moves or switches to VoIP, a specific 747 caller may not be in that zone.

How do I call a 747 number from abroad?

From outside the US, dial your country's exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then 747 and the seven-digit number. From a mobile phone you can usually just enter +1 747 followed by the number and let the phone add the exit code for you.
