 [No title]
Ameritech proposed to use a new area code (630) as an "overlay." An "overlay" NPA covers the same geographical area as an existing area code, or area codes, and allows customers in the area to be served through either code.
Contending that area code relief should be the responsibility of the states, Ameritech and others urge the Commission not to become involved in area code relief planning.
NPA codes and the central office codes assigned within the NPA code should be viewed as essential resources to be shared as fairly and equitably as possible by all those carriers who require such codes to offer interstate access service to their customers.

  Area code 708 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 708 covers western and southern Cook County and eastern and southern Will County in Illinois.
It was split off from area code 312 in 1990, and once covered all of Chicagoland until 1996 when area code 847 and area code 630 were broken off.

 Area code 312 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 312 encompasses the Chicago Loop and surrounding areas in Chicago, Illinois.
Up until 1989, it included most of Chicagoland, at that time the suburbs became area code 708.
In 1996, most of the city split off into 773 after the northern suburbs and western suburbs split into area codes 847 and 630 respectively.

Area Codes, North America Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) is the organisation responsible for the maintenance of the area codes and the dialing setup for North America since the breakup of AT&T several years back.
As the exchange codes in some area codes were used up, some central offices started using the NXX format, where the middle digit can then be a 0 or 1; examples of these may be found in New York City or Los Angeles.
Also, area codes do not generally go outside a state or provincial boundary (the only exceptions are in Canada, where 902 serves both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, area 819 which covers the eastern Northwest Territories as well as part of Quebec, and area 403 which covers Alberta, Yukon and the western Northwest Territories).

 Three Overlay Codes Assigned To Chicagoland
The 708 area code won't begin number pooling until the end of the Y2K stabilization period, which is February 2000.
With an overlay, a second area code is added to the same geographic area as the existing area code, with all current phone customers retaining the original area code.
Area code relief activities are administered by CIS, which was selected by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to serve as the NANPA.

 NANPA : Press Release
Without implementing number pooling, the projected exhaust dates of the four area codes are: fourth quarter 1999 for 630; second quarter 2000 for 312, third quarter 2000 for 773; and second quarter 2001 for 708.
The FCC requires that all telephone calls made in the overlay area will require 1+10-digit dialing (1 + area code + seven-digit phone number) - this includes calls currently dialed with seven digits in the existing area code and even those within the same area code.
After number pooling has been activated and the life of the area code has been exhausted, NANPA will advise the ICC - 30 days in advance - that the first prefix will be assigned to the new overlay area code.

 Jacquelyn Mitchard: New area codes push all the wrong buttons
That was the area code for Chicago, for Pete's sake, and anyone could see why it was the area code for Chicago.
Because New York's area code was "212," Chicago's was "312." The logic is plain: It sort of, but not quite, incorporates the Second City concept, and also features a sporty, hotel-bellhop-whistle sound cities should have on the front end of their phone numbers.
Now, his area code is "847," an even more insulting and nonsensical area code, added on to his already unintelligible phone number, a string of non-repeating digits without a single rescue cue, not a birthday, anniversary nor even the saving grace of oddsies-evensies.

Apparently, many PBX phone systems are currently not programmed to handle area codes that don't have 0 or 1 as the second digit.
Areas to the west and south will be switching to another new code, 630, on August 3, 1996, while south suburbs will retain the old 708 code.

When I was a kid living in the Chicago suburbs, the city changed my area code from 708 to 630 due to the flux of people moving out into the suburbs.
Now, 708, that made sense to me. I wasn't living in the city proper, so I wasn't expecting 312, but I had, for a time, a nice, docile suburban area code.
The numbers of the city area codes looked experienced and mean, and I wouldn't pick up the phone and dial one if it was the last number left in the world.

When dialing a number in the 708 area code, for example, callers will need to dial 9-1-708, followed by the phone number.
When calling long-distance, callers will need to dial their long-distance access code, followed by 1, then the area code and phone number.
The 1+ dialing convention is needed to distinguish among the new area codes, normal seven-digit numbers and toll calls.
