Area code 445 is an all-services overlay of 215 and 267, so it covers the same area. The numbering administrator says that area serves Philadelphia, and the Public Utility Commission describes it as Philadelphia and portions of Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh and Berks counties.
The commission's rate center map labels the city as Philadelphia Zones 1 to 4, then suburbs such as Lansdale, Souderton, Perkasie, Quakertown, Doylestown, New Hope and Yardley.

From the public records of the body that runs US phone numbering, read October 21, 2026.
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved the overlay on November 9, 2016, in docket P-2016-2560129, and 445 entered service on March 3, 2018. No one had to change a number.
Ten-digit dialing has been required in this area since June 1999, so the new code changed nothing about how people dial.
