Area code 814 covers 178 rate centers across Pennsylvania. Communities served include Albion, Alexandria, Altoona, Austin, Barnesboro, and 173 more localities. Rate centers are the geographic building blocks telephone carriers use to determine local calling boundaries and to assign numbers when a business or individual requests a phone number in a specific city.
All numbers in the 814 area code observe Eastern Time (IANA timezone: America/New_York). Eastern Time is UTC−5 in winter (EST) and UTC−4 in summer (EDT). When placing a call to a 814 number from a different time zone, check the current local time above to avoid calling outside of business hours.
From within Pennsylvania, dial the 7-digit local number directly if calling within the same rate center, or dial 1 + 814 + 7-digit number for long-distance calls within North America. From outside the US or Canada, dial your country's international exit code followed by 1 814 XXX XXXX. The country code for both the United States and Canada in NANP is +1.
Format 814 numbers using E.164 notation as required by RFC 3966: prefix with +1 and omit dashes and parentheses (e.g., +18145550100). This format ensures tel: links work correctly on all mobile browsers and VoIP apps. See the tel: URI formatting guide for complete examples.
