845 area code The mid and lower Hudson Valley.
The 845 area code covers the mid and lower Hudson Valley in New York, including Kingston, Middletown, New City, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Spring Valley. It shares its territory with a second code, 329, which was added as an overlay, so both codes cover the same towns. Here is where it reaches, what the 329 overlay means for you, and how a small team gets a 845 number without a New York address.

Got a call from a 845 number? If you got a call from a 845 number, the code tells you where the number was issued, not where the caller is sitting. People keep their numbers when they move, and internet-based numbers can be used from anywhere. One thing specific to 845: calls from 329 numbers come from the same Hudson Valley area, so treat both codes the same way.
The overlay
845 or 329? Same towns.
Area code 845 was created on June 5, 2000, by a split from area code 914, which Westchester County kept. In 2020, 988 was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and 845 had used 988 as a central office code. That created a conflict, so the area was scheduled to move to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021. On May 11, 2022, NANPA authorized area code 329 as an overlay of 845, and it entered service on March 24, 2023.
Because 329 is an overlay, it covers the same towns as 845, so a business in the Hudson Valley can have either code. Local calls are dialed with all ten digits, so save customer numbers with the area code included. Customers will not read either code as a different place.

In practice
What a 845 number does for a small team
A local number is the easy part. What matters is what happens when it rings. Here is one ordinary day for a three-person plumbing crew working out of Newburgh, with one 845 number on the van and the website.
- 7:30 am
A customer calls the 845 number and all three phones ring at once: one in the app, one in a browser tab, and one on the desk phone. Whoever is free picks up.
- 10:45 am
All three are on jobs when the next call comes in. The caller waits in a queue with hold music, and the first person who frees up answers.
- 10:52 am
A voicemail arrives by email with the recording and a transcript: "Water heater is leaking in Poughkeepsie." The crew can call back from the shared number.
- 5:00 pm
The schedule flips to after hours. Callers hear the after-hours greeting, an emergency option forwards to the owner's cell, and holidays are already on the calendar.
- Any time
Every call shows up in one shared list, and nobody's personal cell number ever reaches a customer.

A Tonet number is not tied to a street address or a landline. A shop in Kingston can have one, and so can a team that serves the Hudson Valley from another state.

329 is an overlay of 845. NANPA authorized it on May 11, 2022, and it entered service on March 24, 2023. It covers the same towns as 845, so a new number in the Hudson Valley may carry either code.
Does 845 include Poughkeepsie?

Can I get a 845 number if I am not in New York?
Yes. A Tonet number is an internet-based number and is not tied to a street address or a phone line, so a business anywhere in the US, or a team working for New York customers from abroad, can take a 845 number and answer it in the app, in a browser or on a desk phone.
How much does a 845 business number cost?
The number itself is $2.50 a month. Users are $10 a month each on Pay As You Go, plus 1 cent a minute for calls and 3 cents a text, or $15 a month each on Unlimited, with US calls and texts included under a fair-use policy. Billing is by the day, there is no contract, no setup fee and no seat minimum, and $15 gets you started.
Can I keep my existing 845 number?
Yes. Porting a number to Tonet costs nothing. Most ports complete in 7 to 10 business days, some carriers take a few weeks, and the releasing carrier controls the timing. Your number keeps working with your current provider until the switch, so there is no downtime.
How fast can I get a 845 number set up?
About five minutes. Sign up, add $15, search 845 in the dashboard and pick a number. It rings right away in the app or in a browser tab. A desk phone takes a few more minutes to register.
Why do I dial ten digits in the 845 area?
The 988 code was designated nationwide in 2020 for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and 845 had numbers using 988 as a central office code. That conflict meant the area was scheduled to move to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021. With the 329 overlay added, dial the area code plus the seven-digit number for every local call.
