| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - Area code 809 - Historical 809 The area code 809, which was first deployed in 1958, was until the mid-1990s covering much of the British West Indies in the Caribbean Basin plus Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. With the advent and growth of fax machines, mobile phones, computers, and pagers in the region, the entire 809 block of seven-digit numbers was almost entirely allocated. The solution was to add more area codes for each of the territories in the West Indies and Bermuda; as a result, multiple nation-states are no longer groupe ...

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - North American Numbering Plan - Expansion of area codes Due to a combination of increasing demand for telephone services (particularly due to widescale adoption of fax and cell phone communications), and the practice of allocating phone numbers in large blocks to companies for issuing, many area codes began to exhaust their supply of available numbers (code "in jeopardy" in telecom jargon), and additional area codes were needed. In general, area codes were added either as "splits" (in which an area code was divided into two or more regions, one retaining the older area code and the other areas re ...

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - Area code 905/289 - 905 in pop culture To be a 905er means that you reside in the suburbs of Toronto, while 416ers live in Toronto proper. The term the 905 or the 905 belt is also used to describe the suburban areas of the Greater Toronto Area, while Toronto proper is refered to as the 416. These terms have become a quasi-official way of diferentiating between Toronto and its closely integrated suburbs, as the change in area code is sometimes the only way one can tell that they've crossed municipal boundaries. These terms, however, do not apply to Hamilton, Niagara and points further west, despite the fact ...

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - North American Numbering Plan - History In order to facilitate direct dialing calls, the NANP was created and instituted by AT&T, then the U.S. telephone monopoly, in 1947. However, the first customer-dialed calls using area codes did not occur until late 1951. Originally there were 86 codes, with the biggest population areas getting the numbers that took the shortest time to dial on rotary phones. That is why New York City was given 212, Los Angeles given 213, and Chicago 312, while Vermont received 802 (a total of 20 clicks, 8+10+2). Four areas received the then-maximum numb ...

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - North American Numbering Plan - Calls to Mexico until 1991 Until 1991, calls to some areas of Mexico from the United States and Canada were made using the North American Numbering Plan area codes. For example, to call a number in northwest Mexico and Mexico City before 1991:
1 905 xxx xxxx (Mexico City)
1 706 xxx xxxx (northwest Mexico)
From that year, this was discontinued in favor of the international format:
011 52 5 xxx xxxx (Mexico City; now 011 52 55 xxxx xxxx)
011 ...

Code (809) is now only used by the Dominican Republic. In 1997 the US Pacific Territories of the Northern Marianas and Guam became part of the NANP, as did American Samoa in October 2004.

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - North American Numbering Plan - Cellular services and the NANP numbering scheme A difference between the NANP system and other plans is that apart from area code 600 in Canada, no separate, non-geographical area codes have been created for cellular phones, as is the case in most European and Asian countries, where mobile services are assigned their own prefixes. This means that most North American mobile phones are assigned the same locality-specific codes as landlines, and calls to them are billed at the same rate. Consequently, the caller-pays pricing model adopted in other countries, in which calls to cell pho ...

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - North American Numbering Plan - Future expansion of NANP The North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) is now overseen by NeuStar Inc., who will face the task of adding at least one or two digits to the system within the next 25 years, likely before 2030. During that time, all public and private phone systems on the continent will have to be upgraded and reprogrammed (or even replaced) to recognize the new dialing rules.
The plans being considered now add a 1 or 0 to the end of the area code or the beginning of the local 7-digit number (or both), which will require mandatory 10-d ...

| | | | List of North American area codes: Encyclopedia II - Telephone numbering plan - Open dialing plans An open dialing plan is one in which there are different dialing arrangements for local and long distance telephone calls. This means that to call another number within the same city or area, callers need only dial the number, but for calls outside the area, an area code is required. The area code is prefixed by a trunk code (usually "0"), which is omitted when calling from outside the country. To call a number in Amsterdam in the Netherlands for example:
