Area code 484 has no ground of its own: it is laid over 610, which serves Lehigh, Berks, Delaware, Chester and Northampton counties and a portion of Montgomery County, as the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission puts it.
The numbering administrator names Allentown, Ardmore, Bethlehem, Chester, Drexel Hill, Pottstown and Reading among its cities. The city of Philadelphia uses 215, and 835 is laid over the same area as 484.

From the public records of the body that runs US phone numbering, read October 21, 2026.
610 was split from 215 in January 1994. The Public Utility Commission voted for a 484 overlay in May 1998, so no one had to change a number, and the code went into service in May 1999.
Dialing all ten digits for local calls became mandatory on June 5, 1999. A third code, 835, was laid over the same area on September 2, 2022.
