New area codes really are a labyrinth. What broke the camel's back was Personal Communication Service (PCS) and Cellular Mobile Carriers. Seems the area code plan originated in the 1940's which was to carry the U.S. into the next century did not foresee growth of such "radio attached" subscribers. Cellular was first to put strain on "the plan", now PCS has shattered it. Just some background info from a Telephony type - enjoy & Happy New Year to all.
