01 — Maine at a Glance
Maine, by the numbers.
Maine has used area code 207 since the original 1947 numbering plan, and it has never been split or overlaid.
Maine's small, slow-growing population is why 207 has lasted so long, even as many states split or overlaid their codes starting in the 1990s.
Regulators have studied when Maine might eventually need a second code, but number-conservation measures like pooling keep pushing that date further out.

As of recent industry projections, area code 207 isn't expected to run out of available numbers until sometime in the 2040s, making Maine one of the longest-lived single-area-code states in the country.
