Ready to establish a presence in Sacramento, CA?

Let’s first look at why you might need a 279 area code.

Where is area code 279?

Area code 279 is in the Pacific time zone, serving Sacramento and some surrounding cities. The prefix was launched by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as an overlay for the 916 area code and covers the same geographic area.

As well as the city of Sacramento, there are a few other nearby cities like:

  • Arden-Arcade

  • Carmichael

  • Citrus Heights

  • Elk Grove

  • Folsom

  • Rancho Cordova

  • Roseville

Dialpad’s built-in AI is built by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to transcribe phone calls and video meetings—in real-time. This way, you don't have to be distracted with note-taking and can give them your full attention (and Dialpad even detects highlights and action items).

Voicemail transcriptions

When you're in back-to-back meetings all day, you can't always listen to every voicemail. Dialpad's visual voicemail feature transcribes your voicemails into text, so you can quickly read them when it isn't convenient to listen to them. (It even emails the audio and text versions to you!)

Why your business needs a Sacramento area code

If you want to target Sacramento and the areas surrounding it, it makes sense to get a local number for that area code—even if your business isn’t located there.

Whether they’re in East Los Sacramento or South Gate, LA-adjacent California-based customers can dial you without worrying about long-distance charges. Plus, customers and prospects are more likely to answer local calls if you're using a local-looking phone number with a recognizable Sacramento area code.

Sacramento is the sixth biggest city in California, and hosts businesses like Blue Diamond Growers, Teichert, and The McClatchy Company. It's also a large cultural center, with the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra and the Sacramento Opera. Whether you're running a B2C or B2B company, there's a pretty large audience of potential customers here that you can reach, if your business is equipped with phone numbers with the local 279 area code.
