This was intended as a long-term solution, but within two years both area codes 281 and 713 were close to exhaustion due to Houston's rapid growth and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers. On January 16, 1999, area code 832 was created as an overlay for the entire Houston area.he dividing line roughly followed Beltway 8. Generally, Houston itself and most of the suburbs inside the beltway kept area code 713, while everything outside it became area 281. Area code 713 was retained by all cellphone customers in the Houston area.
Best Answer: Causes of the crusades: The Crusades were an attempt by the Catholic church to re-gain control, authority and power over provinces in the Middle-East.

Crusades in general refer to what are called holy wars or just wars--military campaigns for the purpose of halting the spread of non-Christian religions, of retaking holy places, or of conquering pagan areas. The term holy war was first introduced by Saint Augustine in his book, City of God, published in AD 426.
