The 857 area code was created as a part of the split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 857 is exclusively tied to Boston, Massachusetts, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Cambridge – the bustling heart of the city
Newton – a vibrant, diverse community
Somerville – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 857 has represented Boston pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all urban and suburban areas.
The 857 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Boston. 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 an 857 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 857 area code covers all of Boston, Massachusetts, including:
Cambridge
Newton
Somerville
and many more.
Getting an 857 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Boston’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
