The 347 area code is a New York City area code, one of the first three area codes established in the city in 1947. At the time, it covered the entire Bronx and most of what is now Brooklyn. Over the years, as the city's population grew, the 347 area code was divided and reassigned to new areas. Today, it covers most of northwestern Brooklyn, the Bronx, and a small portion of Queens.The 347 area code is also notable for being the first North American area code to implement Time Warner Cable's Caller ID with Name service. In February 2007, Time Warner Cable began offering the service in the 347 area code, and it has since been expanded to other area codes. Caller ID with Name displays the name of the person who is calling, in addition to their phone number.
