Big changes to making phone calls in D.C. are about to go into effect. Phone numbers with the District’s new 771 area code will be issued starting next month, and using the area code while dialing will be mandatory starting this weekend. D.C.’s area code has been 202 for as long as there have be...
Starting this Saturday, Oct. 9, whenever you place a call to a 202 number, you'll have to dial the area code. This is to accommodate the rollout of our new 771 area code. After Oct. 9, any calls using only 7 digits will not go through. More: https://dcpsc.org/771

The final phone in our #LastPayphonesInDC series is at 2452 18th St, NW in the heart of Adams Morgan. This one’s wedged between an Irish pub and an empanada shop and has clearly been a part of some late-night activities.

Four more of the #LastPayphonesInDC are near each other on Mt. Pleasant St, NW between Lamont and Irving. Located in front of a supermarket, dry cleaner, community center, and ice cream shop, these vary in condition and age. One has a unique "hole punch" design across the top.
As part of our regulatory duties, we certify every payphone in the District. That used to be quite the task, but now in 2021 just six payphones are active in the entire city. One of the #LastPayphonesInDC (and the only one remining downtown) is at is 1432 H St, NW. This payphone has a traditional pedestal and is in overall great shape! While technically active, this phone is pending removal so if you’d like to place a call, the time is now.
