Area Code Update: West Virginia

April 10, 2008 (Vol. 29, No. 8) 

The North American Numbering Plan Administration recently announced a new area code to overlay the existing 304 NPA in West Virginia. An “overlay” is an addition to an existing area code in the same geographic region. “Permissive dialing” – when both the old and new area codes are active – is possible between the effective date and the mandatory date. For a complete area code database, visit www.ccmi.com/neb2.html or call customer service at (888) 275-2264 and select option 1.

State Type of Change Old Code New Code Effective Date Mandatory Date
