How to call Alaska: one area code, one very different clock

In short

Alaska is one of the few American states served by a single area code, 907, which covers everything from Anchorage to remote villages above the Arctic Circle. The bigger challenge for international callers is not the dialing, it is the clock, since Alaska sits four hours behind New York and nine behind London.

One code for the largest state

Area code 907 has covered the entire state since 1957, and despite Alaska's enormous land area it is nowhere near exhaustion. The population is small, around 730,000 people, so a single code comfortably serves Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and hundreds of smaller communities.

Because there is only one code, the area code tells you nothing about where in Alaska a person is. An Anchorage office and a fishing lodge in Kodiak both start with 907. If location matters, ask, because the state spans a distance comparable to the width of the continental United States.

Numbers in 907 follow the standard North American pattern of area code, three-digit exchange and four-digit line number. Exchanges were once tied to specific towns, and Alaskan directories sometimes still list them that way, but mobile portability means the exchange is no longer a dependable guide to a person's actual community.

Getting the time difference right

Almost all of Alaska observes Alaska Time, nine hours behind UTC in winter and eight in summer. That puts Anchorage nine hours behind London for most of the year, four hours behind New York, and a full day boundary away from much of Asia.

From Europe, the practical calling window is compressed. To reach an Anchorage office at 9am you would be dialing at 6pm from London or 7pm from Berlin. Evening family calls to Alaska mean staying up past midnight in most of Europe, so many people flip it and let the Alaska side call in the European morning.

The far western Aleutian Islands use Hawaii-Aleutian Time, one hour further behind, though very few numbers are based there. If your contact is in Anchorage, Fairbanks or Juneau, standard Alaska Time applies. Check the town before scheduling if the number belongs to a remote island community.

Placing the call from abroad without paying satellite rates

Dial +1 907 followed by the seven remaining digits from any country. Alaska numbers are ordinary North American numbers, so carriers should charge their standard US rate, but some international plans quietly price Alaska higher than the lower 48. Check before dialing from a mobile contract.

StartACall treats 907 like any other US code, billed per minute at the same rate whether the number is a mobile or a landline, with no connection fee and credits that never expire. Calls run in the browser over WebRTC, which also helps when you are the one traveling and need to reach Alaska from a hotel connection.

Reaching businesses and rural communities

Anchorage keeps normal American business hours, 9am to 5pm Alaska Time, and most state agencies in Juneau do the same. Seasonal businesses such as fishing charters and tour operators often answer phones only from May through September, so off-season calls may go to voicemail for months.

Rural Alaska relies heavily on mobile and satellite-linked service, and coverage gaps are real. If a village number rings without answer, the person may simply be out of range rather than ignoring the call. Email or a scheduled call time often works better than repeated attempts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the area code for Anchorage Alaska?+

Anchorage uses 907, the single area code that covers all of Alaska including Fairbanks, Juneau and every rural community. The full international format is +1 907 followed by seven digits.

Is calling Alaska more expensive than calling other US states?+

Some international carriers price Alaska above the mainland US, so check your plan. With StartACall the 907 code is billed at the standard US per-minute rate with no connection fees.

How many hours behind London is Alaska?+

Anchorage is nine hours behind London during winter and stays roughly nine hours behind year round, since both regions shift clocks seasonally. Noon in London is about 3am in Alaska.

Does Alaska have more than one area code?+

No. Alaska has used only 907 since 1957. Its small population means the code is not close to running out, so no overlay is currently planned. Dialing habits therefore never change anywhere in the state.

Can I call an Alaskan mobile from my browser?+

Yes. StartACall places calls over WebRTC in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge with no app or SIM, and Alaskan mobiles cost the same to call as landlines. The first call is free.
