Ready to establish a presence in Sacramento, CA?
Let’s first look at why you might need a 279 area code.
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:
Dialpad gives you all the communications channels you need in one robust app, including phone calls, video conferencing, SMS/MMS and instant messaging, and even a fully integrated contact center platform if you need it.
Use Dialpad’s desktop and mobile app across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac—or just use your web browser to join a call or video meeting, no downloads needed.
Never miss a call again. Dialpad’s call forwarding feature lets you choose up to five external numbers, so you can have calls automatically forwarded to your cell phone or landline, a colleague, or another department.
Smart call routing gets your callers to the right department or person—without you having to lift a finger. With Dialpad, you can easily route calls to agents, voicemail, or a department—and also make changes to your IVR, right from your online dashboard.
With Dialpad, you can make work calls from your personal cell phone—while showing your 279 area code work number and protecting your privacy.
Dialpad’s built-in AI is built by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to transcribe your 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).
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!)
Try all these features out in Dialpad's unified communications platform! Sign up for a 14-day free trial to take it for a test drive. It takes just a few minutes, and you'll be set up with a 279 number too. Or, take a self-guided interactive tour of Dialpad to play with the app on your own first!
