Area code 907

Area code 907 covers the state of Alaska, except for the small southeastern community of Hyder, which uses area code 250 and area code 236 of neighboring Stewart, British Columbia. Despite having telephone service to the contiguous US via a terrestrial line from Juneau since 1937, Alaska was not included in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) until 1957, after the Alaska submarine cable was opened for traffic in 1956. The Alaska numbering plan area (NPA) was assigned the area code 907.
