835 area code summary
Area code 835 is a newly reserved overlay for eastern Pennsylvania, expected to cover areas currently served by 610 and 484, which includes cities like Allentown, Reading, and Bethlehem. Though not yet in active use, the 835 area code was approved to address the growing demand for new phone numbers in this populous and economically diverse region. The Lehigh Valley area, where 835 will likely apply, is known for its mix of old steel towns transitioning into tech and logistics hubs, as well as access to Philadelphia's metro area. Businesses planning long-term in the region may begin to see 835 appear in mobile and VoIP services as rollout progresses. Once active, it will provide added capacity for the region’s continued economic and population growth.
Fun fact 💡
Scranton’s Electric City Trolley Museum, since 1975, is a 835 draw.
