Bridgeport, CT is currently assigned two area codes 203 and 475. Bridgeport, CT utilizes an area code overlay
in which area codes 203 and 475 serve the same geographic area. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in Bridgeport because two different homes in the same geographic area can have
the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code. The area code overlay which is in use in Bridgeport, CT today was put into service on December 12, 2009. Area code 203 originally
covered the entire state of Connecticut, including Bridgeport, when it was established in 1947.
In addition to Bridgeport, CT area codes 203 and 475 serve the major communities of Danbury, East
Haven, Meriden, Milford, Naugatuck, New Haven, Norwalk, Shelton, Stamford, Trumbull, Waterbury, West Haven and Westport. |
