On the eve of the new 929 area code rolling out in New York City's outer boroughs, a random check of Google Voice revealed nearly 100 "917" area codes available, which are rarely available from any provider. See all the 917 area codes currently available in the photo below, (click through for larger version), and claim your own at Google Voice. But you better hurry... four have been snapped up in the time this post was written.[UPDATE: All gone!]
If you don't use Google Voice or get there too late, and the thought of getting stuck with any thing less makes you uneasy, you can always look to Ebay and other sites online for a 212 or 917 area code, as The Wall Street Journal pointed out in August of last year.
