Area code 929 is an overlay that serves all five boroughs of New York City along with area codes 718 and 347. Introduced in 2011, it reflects continued population and device growth in NYC. It primarily appears on mobile numbers and newer landlines and requires ten-digit dialing. Though it lacks the historical weight of older NYC codes, 929 still carries the unmistakable association with New York’s urban density and fast-paced lifestyle. It is part of the evolving digital and demographic landscape of one of the world’s most connected cities.
