    MORE ABOUT AREA CODES
NANPA uses guidelines prepared by the ATIS-sponsored Industry Numbering
Committee to administer area codes. These guidelines, titled "NPA Allocation
Plan and Assignment Guidelines," include an application form for requesting
the assignment of an NPA code. The latest version of the guidelines may be
found on the ATIS web site at http://www.atis.org/atis/clc/inc/incdocs.htm.

The format of an area code is NXX, where N is any digit 2 through 9 and X is
any digit 0 through 9. Initially, the middle digit of an NPA code had to be
"0" or "1". When this restriction was removed in 1995, additional area code
combinations became available.

There are 800 possible combinations associated with the NXX format. Some of
these combinations, however, are not available or have been reserved for
special purposes. Among them are the following:

    They can change monthly !!
