Area code 984 is the overlay for the 919 code, covering the Research Triangle in North Carolina. The Triangle's research universities (UNC, Duke, NC State) and the presence of thousands of biotech, pharmaceutical, and technology companies have made it one of the most phone-number-intensive regions in the Southeast. The overlay was introduced in 2011 to expand capacity.
Across North Carolina, the 984 area code serves roughly 1.5 million residents in 4 communities — including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, among others. Numbers in the 984 zone keep Easterntime, so a local line rings during your customers' business hours and shows a familiar NC caller ID on every outbound call.
984 was first introduced in 2011 as an overlay of the 919 area code, adding fresh numbering capacity to the same region without forcing anyone to change an existing number. Because an overlay shares geography with another code, ten-digit dialing is standard throughout the area. It remains an active overlay code today.
