What is what area code is 929?

Area code 929 is an overlay area code serving the same geographic region as area codes 646, 347, and 718 in New York City and surrounding areas in New York State. This means that it was added to alleviate the shortage of available phone numbers within the existing area codes. Calls made within this region between numbers using 929, 646, 347, or 718 do not require the area code to be dialed. However, if calling from outside of this area, you would need to dial the full 10-digit number (area code + 7-digit number).
