Area Code 225
The system of area codes came into existence in the year 1947and it is commonly known as the NANP or the North America Numbering Plan. This telephone numbering system was researched and developed by the researchers at the AT&T and Bell Laboratories. Even before the area codes ere developed al the states and provinces in the United States of America used a 1 digit code to carry out the telephonic communication. Later on the area codes were developed, which were three digit numbers that replaced the single digit code. The system of three digit area code is being followed even today. All he states and provinces in the United States of America were provided with three digit area codes. This system of area codes entailed that the states and provinces that used more than one area code were provided with numbers whose middle digit was 1. The states and provinces that used only one area code had a 1 as the middle digit of their area codes. The first and the third digit of the area codes were based on the population of the region under consideration. 0 or 1 would never be the starting digit of the area codes or even the local numbers. This allows people who receive a call to differentiate between the long distance calls and the local numbers. Alaska, Hawaii, and the Caribbean regions are the areas that are not covered by the North American Numbering Plan. NANP system ensures that all the numbers start with the 3 digit area code that is followed by a 7 digit local; numbers. This numbering convention is applicable to all the states and provinces under the United States of America.
The system of area code came into existence in the year 1947 and a total of 86 codes were released in the first batch. These area codes were split from time to time to give rise to new area codes. The reason behind the splits is the growth in the population that results out of the development of the regions. Presently there are a total of 300 area codes that are serving the United States of America. In the year 1995, the second round of development of the area code system. 0 to 9 are the numbers that make the area codes.
