Area Code 924

Area code 924 is one of the newest NANP area codes

Area code 924 is one of the most recently added codes in the North American Numbering Plan, in service since August 30, 2024. It is an overlay that shares its territory with 507, adding fresh numbers as those codes fill up. Existing numbers in the area keep their codes; only new phone lines may be issued a 924 number.

Because 924 is new and unfamiliar, some people are wary when it appears on caller ID and search for “who called me from 924?” An area code only shows where a number is registered, and any number can be spoofed — so a 924 call is not suspicious on its own. Judge each call by what it asks for, not the code. Is a call from 924 a scam?
