Area Code 708

Area Code 708 History:

11/11/1989
Area code 708 was officially put into service. Then in 1996 portions of area code 708 were split to form area codes 847 and 630.

Area code 464 was put into service as an all services overlay of area code 708 on 01/21/2022. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in the 464/708 overlay effective because different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.
