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.
