    North Carolina area code

    North Carolina was the twelfth state to join the Union in 1789. Its 11 million residents have phone numbers with different North Carolina area codes. These area codes help identify the phone number owner’s city or town on the North Carolina phone numbers database. 

    North Carolina numbers used to be an alphanumeric combination of two letters and five numbers per the 2L-5N format. The two letters tell the caller the switchboard to dial, and the operator would need a five-digit number to connect you to the call recipient.

    But the alphanumeric combination could not keep up with the demand for new phone numbers. So, the 7-digit system replaced the alphanumeric phone number. The first three digits replaced the two letters, and phone number owners had four easy-to-remember digits.

    Likewise, this 7-digit system was soon phased into a 10-digit numbering plan because there were more subscribers than available numbers. By adding area codes, the telephone industry expanded the available pool of numbers. More importantly, area codes made it easier to identify geographic areas.  

    Take your typical ten-digit Charlotte phone number, 704-NYY-XXXX, and think of it as a physical house address.

    704 is the area code. In a house address, this would be your county of residence – in this case, Charlotte. The following three-digit number, NYY, is the prefix code. In a house address, this would be your town or street within Charlotte.

    The last four digits, XXXX, is the unique line number. In a house address, this would be your house number, flat number, or room number.

    North Carolina started with one area code in 1947 – the 704, which was enough to cover phone owners at the time. However, as the state’s population increased, North Carolina now uses 9 area codes. 

    Besides connecting you with the person you wish to call, North Carolina area codes also reveal unknown callers’ locations. But you will need a phone number search to get specific information about the caller’s address and public records on the North Carolina phone numbers database.  

    Several persons can have the same area code if they live in the same area. In the same way, several persons can have the same prefix code if they are neighbors. However, line numbers are unique. No two persons can have the same line number, but one person or business can have several line numbers.
