About the 570 region
570 covers Scranton in Pennsylvania, including Wyoming Valley. The code has been in service since 1998.
As the Scranton region grew, 570 ran low on available numbers, so 272 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
