Area code 718 is a New York City telephone area code (overlaid by area codes 347 and 917) for the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, the four out of five boroughs of New York City, as well as the Marble Hill section of Manhattan.
At the time of its creation in 1984, the 718 code was assigned only to Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island; the Bronx joined 718 in 1992. Manhattan cell phones can also fall under the 718 area code.
