(317) Area Code Business Phone Numbers
The 317 area code covers Indianapolis and the booming suburbs around it, including Fishers and Carmel. Established in 1947, it is one of Indiana's original area codes and still the one most people associate with doing business in the state.

317 was one of the first area codes AT&T handed out in 1947, and it originally covered the entire state of Indiana. Over the decades the state split off 219, 812, and later 930, but 317 kept the central ring around Indianapolis. If you grew up anywhere in Hamilton or Marion County, a 317 number is simply what a local phone looks like.
Fishers has gone from a small bedroom suburb to one of Indiana's busiest business towns, and it currently ranks third in the state for small business climate [1]. The Fishers District alone has pulled in close to a billion dollars of restaurant, hotel, and office investment next to the Fishers Event Center [2]. That means a lot of new shops, clinics, and service companies are picking up phones for the first time.
A 317 number tells a customer in Carmel or Noblesville that you are the local option, not a call center two states away. Even when half your team works from a laptop in Greenwood and the other half is on the road, the number on caller ID looks like home. With Tonet you can buy that 317 line in the dashboard, point it at your mobile, and start taking calls in a few minutes.

Every Tonet plan includes the same feature set. These are the ones that come up most for shops and offices around the 317.

Recorded calls and every voicemail come back as readable text with speaker labels. Click any word to jump to that spot in the audio.
Business SMS
Send SMS and MMS from your 317 number once the one-time 10DLC registration is approved. The whole team shares the thread, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Mobile App
iOS and Android apps use the same login as the dashboard. Calling a 317 or Indianapolis number from Punta Gorda or Phoenix still shows your local caller ID.
Daily Billing
Plans start at $10 per user per month, billed daily against a prepaid balance. Add a seasonal hire for two weeks, pay for two weeks, no contract to argue over.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my existing 317 number if I switch to Tonet?
Yes. Porting is filed from the dashboard, you upload a recent bill as proof, and the status updates as the carriers hand it over. Most ports complete in 7 to 10 business days, sometimes longer depending on your current carrier. Your number keeps working the whole time, so there is no downtime.
How much does a 317 number cost each month?
A number is $2.50 per month on top of your user plan. Plans are $10 per user per month on Pay As You Go or $15 per user per month on Unlimited for US calls and texts. No setup fee, no seat minimum.
Do I need to live in Indianapolis to get a 317 number?
No. Tonet sells real US numbers in every area code with no US address, company, or SIM required. Pick 317 in the dashboard and it works right away from a browser, phone app, or desk phone.
Will my 317 number work for texting customers?
Receiving texts works right away. To send texts, you file a one-time A2P 10DLC registration from the dashboard. Approval takes a few days to a couple of weeks, and a small monthly carrier fee applies after that.
Can one 317 number ring the whole shop?
Yes. Put your team in a ring group and every member rings at once. Turn on Call Queue and callers wait with hold music until someone picks up. If no one is around, it drops to the group voicemail with a transcript emailed to the team.
