Area code 624 is one of the newest NANP area codes
Area code 624 is one of the most recently added codes in the North American Numbering Plan, in service since November 16, 2023. It is an overlay that shares its territory with 716, adding fresh numbers as those codes fill up. Existing numbers in the area keep their codes; only new phone lines may be issued a 624 number.
Because 624 is new and unfamiliar, some people are wary when it appears on caller ID and search for “who called me from 624?” An area code only shows where a number is registered, and any number can be spoofed — so a 624 call is not suspicious on its own. Judge each call by what it asks for, not the code. Is a call from 624 a scam?

Is 624 a country code?
No. 624 is a US area code (a domestic 3-digit code), not a country code. The country (calling) code for the United States is +1, shared across the North American Numbering Plan. So a full 624 number written for international dialing looks like +1 624 followed by the 7-digit local number.
