Detroit’s 313 area code is one of the most known around the country. But it might not be the only area code representing the city soon.
The state of Michigan is apparently running out of 313 phone numbers. Who had that on their bingo card?
But don’t worry, a new area code is already in the works. The state wants to overlay code 679 for use in the city and some surrounding suburbs.
All phone numbers that have a 313 area code are projected to be exhausted in mid to late 2025 according to the Michigan Public Service Commission.
“That will require applying a new area code that will cover the same geographic territory of the 313 area code, without splitting the current area code boundaries or requiring a change of numbers for existing phone users by moving existing 313 phones to a new area code. Rather, current 313 numbers will remain in place while new phone customers in the same territory may be assigned numbers with the 679 area code,” the commission stated.
