If you proudly represent 'the 610' or ' the 484', well it's time to add another number: the 835.
Residents with the 610 and 484 area code get to keep their current number. But starting September 2, if you're looking to get a new telephone line, you may be assigned the 835 number.
The PUC shared the following tips for residents and businesses in the 610/484 region to prepare for the new 835 area code: Program, save and store phone numbers to all devices using the full 10-digit telephone number. Verify that all services and equipment – such as automatic dialers, life-safety & medical alert systems, alarm/security systems and security gates, call-forwarding settings and voicemail services – recognize the new area code as a valid phone number.
For those interested in checking their devices to confirm that they will work with the new 835 area code, a test number is now available: 835-990-TEST . A recorded announcement will indicate the test call has been successfully completed.
