History of the 407 Area Code
- 1947: all of Florida is in 305.
- 1988: 407 is split from 305 for Orlando and the east coast from Palm Beach County north.
- 1996: Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast move to 561.
- October 2000: Brevard County, the Space Coast, becomes 321. At the same time 321 is also overlaid on Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.
- June 2019: 689 is assigned as a new overlay for the 407 area.
The Story Behind 321
The 321 area code was chosen for the Space Coast as a nod to the launch countdown: 3, 2, 1. For a few years it was also handed out in the Orlando area. That stopped in the early 2000s, so 321 numbers around Orlando date from that short period. New Orlando lines today receive 407 or 689.
How to Dial a 407 Number

Is a Call From 407 a Scam?
Orlando is one of the most visited places in the country, so hotels, theme parks, airlines and car rental desks really do call from 407. Free vacation, timeshare and “you have won a trip” calls copy them.
Watch for these warning signs:
- Someone who says they are from the IRS, Social Security or a court and demands payment
- Tech support calls about a virus on your computer
- Investment or crypto offers from a company you do not know
- Texts that ask you to click a link to fix a billing problem
Caller ID can be spoofed, so the number on your screen does not prove where a call comes from.
What to do with an unknown 407 call
- Let it ring out and check the voicemail.
- Search the full number online before you call back.
- Block the number and report it.
- Report scam calls at reportfraud.ftc.gov and register at donotcall.gov.
- Forward spam texts to 7726 (SPAM).
