North American area code 718 is a New York City telephone area code (overlaid by area codes 347 and 917) in the boroughs of the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, as well as the Marble Hill section of Manhattan.
At the time of its creation on September 1, 1984, the 718 code was assigned only to Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island; the Bronx and Marble Hill joined 718 in 1992. Manhattan cell phones may also use the 718 area code.
On December 16, 2009, the New York Public Service Commission approved an additional overlay of the 718/347 area code region.[1][2] On January 22, 2010, NeuStar-NANPA issued a press release (through PR-NewsWire) that 929 is to be the new area code to further overlay the New York City 718 and 347 area codes of boroughs outside Manhattan.[3] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_718
