Area Code 239
Bell Laboratories and AT&T took the pains of establishing an area code system in the year 1940. Despite of being introduced in 1940, this area code came into effect seven years later in the year 1947. This area coding system came to be known as the NANP or North American Numbering Plan and took into consideration Canada and the United States. NANP is the prominent agency that plays a key role in allocating phone numbers.
In 1947, states as well as provinces that were concerned with one area code were provided three digit numbers as codes. These area codes had zero as their middle digit. To be more specific, Florida’s area code came to be known as area code 305 and the area code of Connecticut came to be known as area code 203. During this period, the total number of area codes was limited to 86. States as well as provinces that were associated with more than a single area code were offered three digit codes. These codes had one as their middle digit. Specifically speaking, the area code of some regions of California retained the area code 213 while some region of California retained the area code 916. In the like manner the area code of some regions of New York retained the area code 518 and some region of New York retained the area code 212. The first as well as the third digits were allocated only after taking into consideration the population density of the city and of course the region that is grouped under a particular area code. The areas that were most densely populated were assigned the lowest numbers. The area including the New York City was assigned 212 whereas the surrounding areas were assigned the area code 914.
North American area code 239 is the area code for telephone numbers that takes into consideration a greater half of the south western side of Florida. It also takes into consideration counties like Collier and Lee, as well as small portions of Charlotte and Hendry counties and the Everglades National Park grouped under the Mainland Monroe County. This area code was formed after it got separated from the area code 941. This area code is inclusive of Fort Myers, Marco Island, Naples, Cape Coral, Golden Gate Estates, Golden Gate City, North Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs, Estero, Pine Island, Saint James City, Captiva, Sanibel, Alva and Immokalee.
