Maine, the northeasternmost state in the United States, utilizes two primary area codes: 207 and 445. The 207 area code was established as the sole area code for the state when it was created in 1947, making it one of the original area codes assigned in North America. As Maine's population and telecommunications needs have evolved, the introduction of the 445 area code was implemented in 2022 to accommodate the growing demand for phone numbers, particularly in densely populated areas.
As of October 2023, Maine has an estimated population of approximately 1.35 million residents, with the largest urban center being Portland. The state's geography, with its extensive coastline, rural landscapes, and sparse population distribution, influences telecommunications infrastructure and accessibility. Urban areas benefit from modern telecommunications services, while more remote parts of the state may face challenges due to limitations in connectivity options.
Maine’s telecommunications landscape is characterized by a blend of traditional and modern technologies, with an increasing shift towards mobile communication and broadband services. The state's area codes reflect its historical roots while adapting to contemporary developments in telecommunications, ensuring that residents and businesses can maintain effective communication throughout the region.

Maine has 1 area codes (207). These area codes are split between cities or states, so if you want to call to Maine, you need to know exactly where you would like to call.
The first 3 digits to call Maine may vary depending on where you want to call to, being one or the other depending on the region or city. Take a look at our listing above to find out which area code you need.
Calling Maine from another state in the United States is considered a long-distance call. Here’s how to make the call: First, dial the area code for Maine. Each state, and sometimes specific cities within a state, has unique area codes. Then, enter the 7-digit phone number of the person or business you’re trying to reach. If you’re calling from a landline, check with your provider, as long-distance charges may apply. However, most mobile carriers in the U.S. offer nationwide calling without additional fees. Alternatively, you can use VoIP or internet-based calling apps, like Skype, Zoom, or WhatsApp, to bypass traditional long-distance charges. The number you want to reach should look like this: 1-(AreaCode)-111-2222.
When making calls within the United States, dialing +1 depends on several factors. On most modern mobile phones, carriers automatically recognize the country code when calling within the U.S., so dialing +1 is usually not required; you can simply enter the area code followed by the phone number, such as 213-555-1234. If you’re using a landline, dialing 1 (the U.S. country code) before the area code and phone number is often necessary for long-distance calls; for example, calling from one state to another may require dialing 1-213-555-1234. When calling the U.S. from another country, dialing +1 is necessary, so a call from abroad would be formatted as +1-213-555-1234. VoIP and internet-based calling platforms, like Skype and WhatsApp, generally handle country codes automatically, making it unnecessary to dial +1 manually for U.S. numbers.
