Covers: Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville · Get a Sacramento number
Sacramento customers want a business that knows the region.
The capital mixes state government, health systems and a fast-growing tech scene, while Elk Grove and Roseville bring suburban families and retail corridors. From Midtown's restaurants to the Placer County suburbs, a local code on caller ID tells people you serve the valley. It is an easy way to earn a callback before you have said a word.
279 was introduced in 2018 as an overlay on 916.
Both codes cover Sacramento, Elk Grove and Roseville, so a 279 number is exactly as local as 916. As 916 filled up, new numbers began to be issued on 279. Nearby codes like 530 in the foothills and northern valley and 707 in wine country cover other markets.
