Get a 571 NumberAbout the 571 Area Code
The 571 area code was added on top of 703 in 2000 because Northern Virginia was running out of numbers, thanks to the mobile phone boom and a wave of new tech and government hires. Because both codes cover the same footprint, everyone in the region dials all ten digits, even when calling the shop down the street [1]. So a 571 number reads as unmistakably local, right alongside its older 703 cousin.
Alexandria and its neighbors are having a good stretch. Virginia climbed to No. 3 in CNBC's 2026 Top States for Business ranking, and 76% of Northern Virginia business leaders now say they're optimistic about the next few months, up from 67% a quarter earlier [2]. That confidence shows up in the small shops, consultancies, and contractors filling storefronts from Old Town to Reston.
A 571 number tells clients you're one of them. Whether you're a lawyer in Fairfax handling federal work or a plumber running trucks out of Chantilly, a local number gets answered more often than an unfamiliar toll-free string. Tonet lets you pick a 571 number and start taking calls the same day, without any setup fees or contracts.
Cities Served by the 571 Area Code
The 571 overlay covers all of Northern Virginia, from the Potomac riverfront in Alexandria out through the Fairfax and Loudoun suburbs. If your customers are anywhere in the DC metro's Virginia side, this is your code.
