Is area code 607 a scam?
No. Area code 607 is a legitimate area code serving Binghamton since 1954. Scammers spoof caller ID to display 607 numbers, which is why complaints exist against a code that is itself genuine.
Neighbour spoofing is the reason a local-looking number is not a guarantee. A caller anywhere in the world can display a 607 number, and the number they display may belong to a real business in Binghamton that has nothing to do with the call.

Why am I getting text messages from area code 607?
Texts from 607 numbers follow the same pattern as calls — mostly local businesses and services. Treat any text asking for payment or credentials as suspect regardless of the code.
The common patterns are a wrong-number opener that turns into conversation, an unsolicited job offer, and a crypto or investment tip. Do not reply, do not follow the link, and forward the message to 7726 (SPAM) to report it to your carrier.

Who works in the Binghamton area?
The economy of the 607 region is a story of two anchors. Binghamton, once the home of Endicott Johnson shoes and the birthplace of IBM, now leans on health care, defense electronics, and its university. Lockheed Martin builds helicopter systems in nearby Owego, BAE Systems maintains operations in Endicott, and Binghamton University has become the area's economic engine, with a research program in battery technology that won federal tech-hub designation. An hour north, Ithaca and Cornell University sit inside area code 607 as well, giving the region an unusual concentration of research activity for a region its size.
Who lives in the 607 region
The demographic numbers are hard ones. DataUSA puts Binghamton's 2024 population at 47,151, with a poverty rate of 32.6% and a median household income of $45,578, both far from state averages pulled up by New York City. The 2024 median property value of $124,800 is among the lowest of any northeastern metro, which cuts both ways: cheap commercial space for startups spinning out of the universities, and a thin consumer market for anyone selling locally.
What a 607 number signals to a caller
Area code 607 has covered the Southern Tier of New York since 1954, and a number in it says upstate plainly, a different world from the 212 and 718 codes downstate. Callers describe business phone culture in Binghamton as unpretentious and direct, closer to the Rust Belt than to Manhattan. The region is on Eastern time, and given the university calendars in both Binghamton and Ithaca, reaching decision-makers is measurably harder during academic breaks.
Area code 607 serves Binghamton and surrounding communities in New York. It is in the Eastern Time zone.
What state is area code 607 in?
Area code 607 is in New York. It is not in Augusta or Oceanside — those are area codes 706 and 760.

No. Area code 607 is a geographic area code serving Binghamton, New York. The toll-free codes are 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, 888, and a call to a 607 number is charged at your normal rate.
Why am I getting calls from 607?

How do I block calls from area code 607?
