	New 'Overlay' Relief Plan for 810 Area Code 586
		The 586 area code is the first overlay for Michigan, which was recently approved by telecommunications service providers in Michigan to provide relief for the 810 area code.
		In an overlay area code, a second area code is added to the same geographic area as the existing area code, with all existing numbers retaining the 810 area code.
		Area code relief activities are administered by CIS, which was selected by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve as the NANPA.

		An area code "overlay" is a second area code that is added to a geographic area along with an existing area code.
		All existing numbers retain their current area code, while new telephone customers for local phone service, cellular and paging services, and alarms may be assigned a telephone number in the new overlay area code.
		The delay in the 734/278 area code overlay for Ann Arbor, and the 313/679 area code overlay for Dearborn follows a similar delay for Flint's 810/586 area code overlay plan, which was announced in the May 8 issue of The University Record.

	NANPA : Press Release
		Area code relief plans for Michigan were recommended in July by a telecommunications industry group, which considered several alternatives for relief for the three area codes before reaching agreement on the overlays.
		In an overlay area code, a second area code is added to the same geographic area as the existing area code.
		During this period, customers calling from within the existing areas can dial either the seven-, 10- or 1+10 digit telephone number, and are encouraged to begin dialing 10 digits or 1+ 10 digits on all calls, to get used to the new dialing plan for the 248/947, 313/679 and 734/278 area codes.

		On December l, 1993, Oakland's residents and businesses were "relieved" from threatened area code 313 number exhaustion by implementation of the 810 area code.
		Oakland County's all-too recent repetitive experiences with "area code relief" has taught our residents and businesses that the "relief" offered by the assignment of a new area code is illusory.
		Our new area code assignments have proven themselves to be convenient window dressings, ones concealing from public scrutiny the real danger facing our national telecommunications system: the total exhaustion of the nation's telephone numbering resources.

	NANPA : Press Release
		WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 16, 1999) — A new overlay area code - 586 - has been assigned to Michigan's 810 area code, which covers the north and northeastern area of metro Detroit, according to the Communications Industry Services (CIS) group of NeuStar, Inc., which serves as the North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA).
		In addition, all telephone calls made in the 810/586 overlay area will require 10-digit (area code + seven-digit phone number) or 1+10-digit dialing (1+ area code + seven-digit phone number)- this includes calls currently dialed with seven digits in the 810 area code and even those within the same area code.
		At the end of the "optional dialing" period - May 6, 2000 - callers must use the new 10-digit or 1+10-digit dialing to complete their calls.

		Users who are within the 586 service area will likely continue to be able to reach their local MichNet number by dialing seven digits.
		Users in the 248 area code who call the Warren or Romeo numbers (most significantly users in the Royal Oak and Troy phone exchanges) will need to change the area code they use to reach those numbers.
		Such users have likely always needed to use the area code when dialing these numbers, and they will need to change the area code from 810 to 586.

		It's best to use the new 586 area code so you get accustomed to it before it becomes mandatory on March 23, 2002.
		However, during a six-month period, you may complete calls using either the 810 or the 586 area code.
		Incoming calls from a 586 landline phone will incur the same charges as before when incoming calls from a 810 landline phone came into your 810 wireless phone.
