An area code is assigned to a particular region of the United States as it helps in providing proper service to the subscribers residing within the area. A state may be divided into a number of small areas for effective tele communication. It is mandatory to dial the area code before going on to the specific telephone number of the subscriber if you are trying to access the number from outside the local area of communication. Several area codes are normally assigned to a state with certain low populated states having to make do with a single area code only.

Although there are supposed to be ten million 7-digit phone numbers available for each area code assigned to a particular region, numbers starting with 0 or 1 are not available to the public. A total of 7,920,000 phone numbers can be used by a particular area code. This may well result in depletion of usable telephone numbers especially when an area code reaches its limit. A new area code is created just before all the numbers are exhausted to ensure the availability of usable numbers to all new subscribers. Knowledge about specific area codes also make reverse phone number lookup considerably easier.
