What is 603

Area code 603 is New Hampshire's only area code, covering the entire state — Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Portsmouth, and the Lakes Region. New Hampshire's economy is shaped by its distinctive tax structure — no income tax and no sales tax — which has made it one of the most business-friendly states in New England and attracted significant corporate and retail activity. The state's healthcare sector, anchored by Dartmouth Health and Elliot Hospital, is among the largest employment sectors. BAE Systems' Electronic Systems division in Nashua is a major defence technology employer, and the technology corridor along the Massachusetts border attracts significant spillover from Boston's technology and biotech industries. The state's outdoor recreation economy generates billions annually.

WHY 603 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 603 number?

01

BAE Systems Nashua — defence electronics headquarters

BAE Systems' Electronic Systems division in Nashua is one of the company's most important US defence technology facilities. Defence contractors, engineering services, and technology vendors need a local 603 number to engage BAE's substantial New Hampshire operations.

02

No income tax, no sales tax — New England's business haven

New Hampshire's tax structure attracts significant corporate activity and retail investment. Financial services, insurance, and professional services companies benefit from a 603 number when engaging the state's distinctive no-tax business community.

03

Dartmouth Health — the region's academic medical anchor

Dartmouth Health, anchored by Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, is New Hampshire's leading academic medical centre. Healthcare technology and clinical services vendors need a local 603 number to engage Dartmouth Health's procurement network across the state.

04

Massachusetts tech corridor spillover — Nashua and Manchester

The southern tier of New Hampshire, particularly Nashua and Manchester, benefits from significant technology and biotech investment spilling over from the Massachusetts Route 128 and Route 495 corridors. Technology and professional services firms benefit from a local 603 presence in this fast-growing market.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 603 number.

Every 603 number ships with fourteen professional tools for New Hampshire's defence-and-technology economy — compliance call recording for BAE Systems' vendor requirements, advanced routing for Dartmouth Health's clinical network, and analytics for the southern New Hampshire technology corridor.
