Sandy uses the 503 and 971 area codes, the same overlay codes carried by Portland and by many people in Gresham, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, Happy Valley, and Tualatin. The two codes cover the same geographic region rather than splitting it up.
Sandy runs on Pacific time, along with the rest of this stretch of the Portland metro. Because 503 and 971 overlay the same area, neither one signals a different location or time zone than the other.
Residents across this part of the Portland metro, including areas near Sandy, commonly report unwanted calls from telemarketers and robocallers. Keeping a separate number for online listings, dating profiles, or new contacts helps keep that traffic off your main line.
