Area Code 873 History:

09/15/2012
Area code 873 was officially put into service. Area code 873 is an overlay of area code 819. Mandatory 10 digit dialing is required.

Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in the 819/873 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.

Area code 468 was put into service as an all services overlay covering the two existing area code overlays 819 and 873 effective 10/22/2022. Ten digit dialing is already necessary in the existing 819 and 873 overlay and this will be extended to area code 468. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary when two or more area codes cover the same geographic area.
