Florida is currently using seventeen area codes. Florida currently has one area code, 689, which is assigned to provide
numbering relief but is not yet in service. Florida utilizes three area code overlay plans, often called overlay complexes.
Area code 305 originally covered all of Florida when it was established in
1947. Florida quickly began to need more area codes as the population growth surged. In 1953 area code 305 was split to form area code 813. Twelve years later in 1965 area code was split again to form area
code 904.
