In the North American Numbering Plan, area
code 781 serves the coast of Massachusetts to the northeast of Boston and
also includes suburbs north of Boston.
Due to the large population base, area code 781 is insufficient to meet
the demand so area code 339 is also used in the same geographic area.
This means that subscribers with telephone numbers in area code 781 can dial
area code 339 with just a ten-digit code, omitting the North American long
distance prefix of “1”.
