Site overview
This site contains information about the
North American Numbering Plan,
the telephone numbering scheme that serves the United States, Canada, and several other
countries and territories in the region. The NANP divides the participating countries into
area codes, each of which is a three-digit number. Within each area code, a telephone number
is always 7 digits, except for special codes like the 911 emergency number. In the late 1990's,
the NANP added new area codes at a rate unprecedented in its 50-year history, with demand
fueled primarily by the outdated system of allocating blocks of numbers to telephone companies.
More efficient allocation methods, coupled with consolidation in the telecommunications
industry, have slowed the flood of new area codes to barely a trickle, from 45 in 1997 to only
3 in 2007.
This site contains information about the original area codes from 1947, their evolution to the
current state, and future developments, including area code splits and area code overlays.
