The 217 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 217 that once covered all of Illinois. Today, 217 is exclusively tied to Champaign County, located in east-central Illinois. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Champaign – the bustling heart of the county
Urbana – home to the University of Illinois
Savoy – a growing community with a mix of urban and suburban life
For generations, 217 has represented Illinois pride, offering the best of community life with fast access to all areas.
The 217 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Champaign County. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 217 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 217 area code covers all of Champaign County, including:
Champaign
Urbana
Savoy
and many more.
Getting a 217 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Illinois’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
