Indiana is currently using six area codes. Indiana does not utilize any area code overlays
Indiana originally had three
area codes, 219,317 and 812, when the numbering system was established in 1947. It was not until thirty years later in 1997 that Indiana experienced sufficient growth in population and telephone use to need
an additional area code. To meet this increase in demand there were three area code splits. One was in 1997 and two were in 2002.
