Area Code 870 History:

04/14/1997

Area code 870 was officially put into service. Area code 870 was created from a split of area code 501.

Area code 327 was put into service as an all services overlay of area code 870 on February 20, 2024. Ten digit dialing is required in area codes 870 and 327 effective January 19, 2024.

Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in the 870/327 overlay because two different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.
