Special Area Codes
600 - Some reports mention that this area code was once reserved for
special U.S. government purposes.
700 - Special Long Distance services (usually US only)
Often, a special (700) area number will identify the customer's
primary long distance carrier in the U.S.: dial 700 555 4141 to
get the name of the long distance carrier (in some areas of the U.S.)
700 may be used for other value-added services, according to the
region and long distance carriers involved.
800 - Toll Free calling (INWATS)
900 - special services (recordings, special promotions, vote tallying,
usually with toll charge applied)
former TWX (teletypewriter) area code assignments:
410 - Northeastern USA (410 now a Maryland code)
510 - Eastern USA (510 now an Oakland CA code)
610 - Canada
710 - Southern USA (may have been reserved for U.S. government services)
810 - Mexico
910 - Western USA
New Area Codes Format to be Set Up by 1995!!
When all the area codes run out, it is proposed to use NNX codes for area
codes (likely starting July 1995, if not sooner). Codes ending in '0' would
form a new source of area codes (like 220, 850, 990, etc). This would mean
that all long distance calls beginning with 1+ will require area codes,
unless NN0 exchange codes used are avoided within an area code (ie. a method
is devised to distinguish the area codes from the exchanges). As long as no
exchange in an area code ends in '0', the 1 + 7 digit number dialing within
an area code could still be used.
There are extremely few area codes left of the current format: 810
and 910 may be assigned, but that's about it unless some codes of the
form N00 or N11 are assigned, or 610 is removed from Canadian TWX
service. From latest information, July 1995 is still the planned date
that the "interchangeable" area codes are to be permitted on the
telephone network. This date could be pushed back if demand warrants
and approvals are given, however.
The order in which these new area codes are supposed to be assigned is:
260 480 520 590 650 220 250 490 660 680 720 730 850 940
230 240 290 470 550 580 740 930 450 760 880 570 380 460
980 860 960 990 970# 350 540 820 840 690 770 890 320 370
790 280 640 750 270 430 630 670 560 330 340 390 620 830
920 360 440 780 870 420 530
970# - reserved for plant testing exchange/area code
950 - used for long distance carrier access - unknown where it will fit
in in the ordering of the new NPAs, if it will be assigned at all

Area Codes - a history of splits and changes
The following is a TELECOM Digest posting from Carl Moore regarding area
code splits and area codes that have gone to NXX prefixes.

---------
These areas have N0X/N1X prefixes, which are put in service as an
alternative to splitting an area which has had only NNX up to this
point. As a result, long distance from these areas is dialed like
this:
7D or 1+NPA+7D within area (can no longer use 1+7D)
1+NPA+7D to other areas (can no longer use NPA+7D)
For all 0+ calls from these areas, try 0+NPA+7D.
I believe these requirements will become universal when area codes
must generalize from N0X/N1X to NXX; deadline for this is July 1995.
But since the first batch of NNX area codes will be of NN0 form, some
areas might be able to keep 1+7D for intra-NPA long distance by
disallowing prefixes of NN0 form; I do not know if this will be
affected by use of 52x codes -- x not necessarily 0 -- for Mexico. It
is unclear how generalizing area codes to NXX would affect the policy
of not using N0X/N1X prefixes until NNX starts running short.
213, California, July 1973
(7D on all calls within it)
(later 213/818, now 213/310/818)
(this area continued to publish 0+7D instruction for
within-NPA 0+ calls)

Areacode splits:
Early splits for which no date appears may not have been announced
publicly due to lack of direct-dial facility at the time, and can only
be guessed at with the following guidelines: If an areacode is of form
N1X, it is in a state or province with more than 1 areacode. (The
reverse, if it was ever true, is now obsolete.) If an areacode is in
a state or province with only 1 areacode, it is of form N0X. (The
reverse, if it was ever true, is now obsolete.)

202 District of Columbia & vicinity, 1 Oct 1990
This behaved somewhat like a split despite no new area code.
202 area code, previously useable for all but the outermost
Maryland and Virginia suburbs, was restricted to DC proper.
(Use 301 or 703, as the case may be, to reach the suburbs.)
As a result, government offices (now including the Pentagon)
using zipcodes starting with 200,202,203,204,205 and located
in Md. or Va. can no longer be listed in area 202. Prefixes
in the Pentagon, which is in Virginia, were previously in area
202 (not 703), and in 1990 were moved to area 703. (Local
calls across area code border changed from 7D to NPA+7D.)
214/903 Texas, 4 Nov 1990 (full cutover 4 May 1991)
201/908 New Jersey, 1 Jan 1991 (full cutover 8 June 1991)

212/917 New York, 1992 or 1993? (details not yet available)
714/909 California, Nov 1992
(Riverside and San Bernardino counties go into 909;
Orange County remains in 714)
416/905 Ontario, 4 Oct 1993 (full cutover [10 Jan 1994])
On Feb 1, 1991, area codes 706 and 905, which had been used in the
U.S. for calling parts of Mexico, were discontinued and thus became
available for use elsewhere. Country code 52 is to be used for calls
to Mexico.
