How does a new area code affect other services?
911 services will NOT be affected by the introduction of a new area code. Emergency calls will continue to be handled in the same manner. Callers will still dial only three digits to reach 911. 411 services will NOT be affected by the introduction of a new area code either. Directory assistance calls will continue to be handled just as they are today. There is no change in the cost of a directory assistance call.
