Because of the possible exhaustion of
available numbers in the 304 area code, the Public Service Commission of West
Virginia recently approved the implementation of a new area code, 681. If you
currently have a telephone number with the 304 area code, your telephone number
will not change.
Persons subscribing for new service in West Virginia after
March 28, 2009 may be given the 681 area code.
Permissive dialing begins
July 26, 2008. Permissive dialing allows telephone users to become
accustomed to using 10-digit dialing (304-xxx-xxxx) for local calls, although
not yet required; however, beginning February 28, 2009, 10-digit dialing
must be used for all local calls.
It is important to remember that
a local call will still be a local call regardless of the area code.
The way you
dial for long distance calls will not change.
If you have questions, please
contact the PSC at 1-800-642-8544.
