Why choose a 339 virtual phone number?
Look local to Boston contacts
If you're selling something, dating, or job hunting in Boston, a 339 number tells people you're in the area before they even answer.
Stay connected across the metro
From Cambridge to Quincy to Lynn, a 339 number reads as familiar to anyone in these Massachusetts communities, not like an out-of-state cell number.
Keep your number after a move
If you're relocating out of Worcester, Lowell, or Brockton, you can keep your 339 number so friends, family, and old contacts don't need a new one.
Separate work and personal life
Use a 339 number for job hunting or freelance work around Boston and New Bedford, and keep it separate from the number you give friends and family.
Recognized by local buyers and clients
Selling online to people in the Boston area? A 339 number looks like a neighbor's number, not a stranger's, which can make buyers more comfortable.

The 339 area code serves Boston and reaches across Massachusetts into Worcester, Cambridge, Lowell, Brockton, Lynn, Quincy, and New Bedford. It's one of the numbering plans covering this dense, populous stretch of eastern Massachusetts.
339 is an overlay code, meaning it shares its geographic footprint with several other area codes serving the same region: 351, 617, 781, 857, and 978. All of these codes can appear on numbers throughout Boston and its surrounding cities, so a 339 number sits right alongside them rather than replacing them.
The region runs on the America/New_York timezone. Whether you're calling someone in Cambridge or texting a contact in New Bedford, everyone in this area code's footprint shares the same clock, which makes scheduling calls straightforward.
