332 Area Code? Get a 212 Number!

Posted by

Manhattan is set to get a new area code on June 10th: 332, this new area code is not going to replace any existing area code but will rather be an overlay to the 212 and 646 area codes which are exclusive to Manhattan. While 212 is mainly used for landlines and are no longer being distributed, 646 numbers are assigned for both landlines and cell phones.

How is this new are code affecting current residents? Not much, except that new residents and new lines being initiated will be assigned this new 332 area code.

Now, who wants this new area code? not many, it seems like most people will rather stick with their exclusive 212 area code or the less popular 646.

As noted in a recent article on CNN: The 212 area code is something of a status symbol. It was one of the original 86 codes created in 1947, and the first in New York City. As residents told New York Times in 2015, “the only acceptable area code for a Manhattanite is 212.”

So now is the time to get a 212 area code phone number before you get ‘stuck’ with a 332 (3rd tier) area code.

Port a 212 Phone Number To Google Voice

Posted by

In short: Yes, you can port any 212 number purchased form us to Google Voice.

If you’ve given Google Voice a shot in the past, you may have held off on switching over entirely due to the inability to port your mobile phone number. People get attached to their phone numbers – it’s simply human nature. This phenomenon is especially likely if you’ve invested money in a snappy 212 phone number. After finally securing a number with a cool area code, the last thing that you want to do is hand out an awkward Google Voice number – right? Thankfully, it looks like Google is finally opening the floodgates and allowing number porting.

To see if your account is eligible for porting head over to: Google Porting

How to Port a Number to Google Voice

Like many of Google’s other services and features, Google Voice phone number porting* is remarkably easy and intuitive. Simply log on to your Google account as usual; click over to your Google Voice settings page. There, you should see a “change/port” option. By clicking on that, you will be asked to input the number that you’d like to port. Google will analyze it to see if it’s eligible for porting. If it is, you’ll just click through a few disclaimers – just as you would when opening up a new email account – and you’ll be good to go. In short, you’ll be able to use your new 212 phone number without facing early termination fees and other penalties.

*(Google charges $20 for the process)

One Number, Many Phones

One of the most beautiful things about Google Voice is that it lets you simplify the phone numbers in your life. Instead of handing out one work number, one cell number and one land-line number, you can just give people your Google Voice number. By dialing it, calls can be routed to any and all of your phones. You can sweeten the deal by porting over a trendy 212 phone number and giving it out instead. Without a doubt, a marriage between Google and the 212 area code is a beautiful thing.
