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.

The Arkansas Public Service Commission has approved Area code 327 as an all services overlay of area code 870 with a revised in service date of February 20, 2024. Area code 327 will be an overlay of area code 870. Ten digit dialing will be required in area codes 870 and 327 on January 19, 2024.

Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) will be 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.
