 804 Area Code Relief Option Recommended
RICHMOND -- The 804 area code region of Virginia would be split with the eastern section receiving an overlay code in about six years under a recommended relief plan submitted to the State Corporation Commission.

The rural portion would not have to face the potential of an overlay until the next time area code relief is required.
