| | Minnesota Welcomes New Area Codes: 763 and 952 |
 | | In drawing the new area code boundary lines, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, the decision maker regarding area code changes, carved out a core area consisting of Minneapolis, Richfield, St. Anthony and the Fort Snelling area to keep the 612 area code. |
 | | Telephone customers that received the 651 area code when it was added over a year ago to serve St. Paul and surrounding communities, will keep the 651 area code. |
 | | For example, to place a call from a community north of I-394, which is in the new 763 area code, to someone in a community south of I-394, which is in the new 952 area code, a caller must first dial the area code and then the telephone number. |
