New Dallas Area Code

[busykngt]

The Metroplex is to get yet another new Area Code (945) in about a year. This joins: 214, 469 & 972.

Still sore I had to give up my nice 214 number when somehow spammers got ahold of it and called it 24/7. Oh well. 972 is still better than 469 or 945. That's how you can tell someone just popped in from California. And don't talk to me about 682 or 940, brrrrrrrr...

469 has been around since July 1999. Many landlines and locals have 469 numbers. It also seems like many of the imports to the area keep their previous area codes

I have a 214 personal number, but 469 work cell.

It seems like it was longer ago, but 972 only was created in 1996.

Why would one area code be "better" than another? As long as it works, what difference would it make? Just curious.

Just sassing. Long term residents vs newcomers.

I dunno. I'm pretty partial to my 469 number (I got a pretty sweet one) but I miss my old 210 and 512...

My wife and I got our cell (“mobile”) phones at the same time and place - on a family plan. She got assigned a 214 A/C and I got assigned a 972 A/C. Always thought that was rather peculiar...

I grew up in Wise county, and we always had an 817 area code until sometime in the 90's when they changed everyone over to 940 because Ft Worth was running out of phone numbers in the 817 area code.

Cell customers pretty much can keep their old numbers. We moved to a 245 area code area but 972 works fine.

Would expect a CA code to work here too. Only reason to get a local AC is to hide the fact you just emigrated from Commiefornia or you got a new land line.

Me too. When I was a kid growing up in the country, ours was Edison 3531.

And our phone line was a party line. You could pick up the phone and hear people talking. There were some old hens on it that would call each other and cluck for hours with no regard for anyone else.
