Area Code 410

Area Code 410 History:

10/06/1991

Area code 410 was officially put into service. Area code 410 was created from a split of area code 301. In 1997 area code 410 was overlaid with area code 443.

Area code 667 is proposed as an overlay of area codes 443 and 410. The scheduled implementation date is 03/24/2012 and mandatory 10 digit dialing will be required.

Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in the 410/443/667 overlay because two different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.
