Area code 870

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Area code 870 is the telephone area code serving Arkansas, excluding the metropolitan areas surrounding Little Rock, Fort Smith, and Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers. Major cities in the coverage area include Jonesboro, Mountain Home, Pine Bluff, Texarkana, and West Memphis.

The area code was the first to split from Arkansas's original area code — 501. The supply of unassigned phone numbers for 870 is projected to run out sometime in 2013, according to the Arkansas Public Service Commission, prompting a December 2009 approval of a plan for an eventual overlay area code in this portion of the state. The overlay area code has not yet been determined.[1]
