(703) Area Code Business Phone Numbers
The 703 area code has covered Alexandria and Northern Virginia since 1947, making it one of the original area codes assigned when the North American Numbering Plan launched. A 703 number tells customers you have real roots inside the Beltway, not a virtual presence tacked on last month.

The 703 was originally handed out in 1947 and once covered the entire state of Virginia. Growth in the D.C. suburbs eventually forced a split, and in March 2000 the 571 overlay went live to keep pace with demand for new lines across Northern Virginia [1]. Together the two codes now serve roughly 2.5 million people packed into the counties just west of the Potomac.
Alexandria and the surrounding NoVA market lean heavily on small companies. In the Q2 2026 Northern Virginia Business Leader Survey, businesses with fewer than 50 employees made up 69 percent of respondents, and 76 percent of leaders said they were optimistic about their company's near-term performance [2]. That kind of confidence usually shows up as new hires answering more calls.
A 703 caller ID still carries weight here. Federal contractors in Crystal City, restaurants on King Street, and IT shops out in Reston all get better answer rates when their number matches the neighborhood. Tonet lets you pick up a fresh 703 line or port an old one in without changing anything else about how you work.
Cities Served by the 703 Area Code
The 703 stretches from the Potomac waterfront in Alexandria out through Fairfax and Loudoun County. If you do business anywhere between Mount Vernon and Leesburg, this is your area code.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still get a new 703 number, or are they all taken?
Fresh 703 numbers are limited because of demand, which is why the 571 overlay exists. Tonet checks availability in real time when you sign up and can usually pull a 703 for Alexandria, Arlington, or Fairfax on the spot.
Can I port my existing 703 number to Tonet?
Yes. If your number is currently with another carrier or PBX, we handle the port for free. Most 703 ports finish inside a week with no downtime.
What's the difference between 703 and 571?
They cover the same geography. 703 has been there since 1947 and 571 arrived in 2000 as an overlay. A 703 number reads as more established, which is why it still commands a small premium in Northern Virginia.
Do I need special hardware to use a 703 number with Tonet?
No. Tonet works on any laptop, desk phone, or smartphone. Download the app, sign in, and start taking calls.
