  Area code 212 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 212 is a New York City telephone area code.
New York City was originally given area code 212 back when area codes were assigned in 1947 as it is the fastest area code that could be dialed with a rotary dial given the numbering plan constraints that 1 was not allowed as the first digit, and area codes could not end with 11.
The 212 area code is arguably one of the most-recognized American area codes.

 North American Numbering Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, area codes were added either as "splits" (in which an area code was divided into two or more regions, one retaining the older area code and the other areas receiving a new code), or "overlays", in which multiple area codes were assigned to the same geographical area.
Area codes, or "number planning areas" ending in double digits, such as toll-free 800, 888, 877, and 866, personal 700 numbers, and high-toll 900 numbers, are reserved as Easily-recognizable codes (ERCs) and are not issued to actual areas.
Initially, the new 917 area code for New York City was specifically assigned for this purpose within the 5 boroughs; however a Federal court struck this down and banned the use of an area code for a specific telephony purpose.

 Bell Atlantic Ready to Introduce New 347 Area Code;
New Area Code to Join 718 to Serve The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island NEW YORK, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Bell Atlantic (NYSE: BEL) has made the necessary modifications to its network to begin the introduction of the 347 area code for The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
A new area code is needed for the four boroughs because the demand for new telephone numbers is exploding as people communicate more than ever using additional phone lines, cellular phones, pagers, computer modems and fax machines.
The 718 area code was introduced in 1985, replacing the 212 area code in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

For example, rural residents of northern Virginia were pleased to be assigned a new area code, 540, that distinguishes them from the beltway-bound city slickers of Alexandria and Arlington, who retained the 703 area code.
The introduction of the 718 area code in 1985 for residents of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island was memorably traumatic to many New Yorkers and abetted Manhattan snobbery because the island retained the 212 area code that had embraced the whole city.

Current customers keep the same area code, but any customers who order new service, add an additional line, or move may be assigned the new 646 area code where 212 or 917 numbers are unavailable.
An overlay is a new way of expanding the number of available telephone numbers in an area by placing a new area code "on top of" the existing area code.
A new area code is simply added to the same geographic region where an existing area code already works, meaning that two area codes work in the same area.

Just as there's no reason to write a 1 before the 617 or 646 area code, there's no reason to put a 1 before 800 or 888 or 877 or 866 or any other toll-free area codes that may eventually exist.
And if someone tells me his number is 1-617-637-1111, that tells me two things: that he doubts I understand the concept of area codes and that I'd better not call him collect (since calling collect doesn't require a 1).
And if you're in the U.S. dialing some other country and the city code starts with 0, remember to omit the 0 (Moscow is the exception; you dial the full 095 city code).
