(919 and 984) North Carolina is currently using nine area codes. North Carolina utilizes three area code overlay plans, often called an overlay complex. North Carolina originally had one area code, 704, when the numbering system was established in 1947. By 1954 North Carolina experienced sufficient growth in population and telephone use to need an additional area code. To meet this increase in demand area code 704 was split in 1954 to form area code 919.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Area code 803 is the area code for most of central South Carolina. It is anchored by Columbia, the state capital. It also includes most of the South Carolina portions of the Charlotte (North Carolina) and Augusta (Georgia) metropolitan areas.n 1995, the Upstate was split off as area code 864. This was intended as a long-term solution, but within two years 803 was close to exhaustion once again due to rapid growth in Columbia and the coastal region, as well as the proliferation of cell phones, pagers and fax machines.
