Area Code 327 History:

02/20/2024

Area code 327 was officially 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 as of January 19, 2024. Previously, the scheduled in service date was 05/18/2013, however, on 6/22/2012 the Arkansas Public Service Commission suspended the planned implementation date of area code 327.

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.
