The 248 covers most of Oakland County, from Novi and Farmington Hills on the west side to Rochester Hills and Troy along the I-75 corridor. When it split from 313 in 1997, it quickly became the dial code people associated with the suburbs north of Detroit, and it has stuck through the overlay era.
Troy alone sits on roughly 21 million square feet of office and engineering space plus another 16 million square feet of manufacturing footprint [1], which is why the city is nicknamed part of Automation Alley. With a population near 89,200 [2], it punches well above its weight for headquarters, dealer networks, and professional services firms that all want a 248 on the door.
A local 248 tells a customer in Berkley or Waterford that you are actually up the road, not in a call center three states away. That matters when someone is picking a plumber, a dentist, or a law office and would rather deal with a neighbor. Tonet lets you grab a 248 in a few minutes and forward it to whichever device you already carry.
Cities Served by the 248 Area Code
The 248 covers a broad ring around Detroit's northern suburbs, from lakeside neighborhoods in Waterford to the office parks of Southfield and Troy. Twelve of the largest communities in Oakland County share the code.
