In the internet age many waste expensive Radio and Television advertising money with annoying repetitive mentions of phone numbers. When was the last time you memorized a nine digit phone number while driving in traffic or at the beach or during lunch at home? Area code 212 is a New York City telephone area code for the borough of Manhattan. By area, it is one of the smallest area codes in North America. A business with a 212 area code is often perceived as having stability and roots in Manhattan. This cachet was a minor plot point in the Seinfeld episode, "The Maid". New York City was given area code 212, one of the original area codes when they were assigned in 1947, because it is the area code that could be dialed fastest with a rotary dial given the numbering plan. At the time, 0 and 1 were not allowed as the first digit, the second digit was either 0 or 1, and the third digit could not be the same as the second digit. Until September 1, 1984, area 212 covered all of New York City. Today, only the borough of Manhattan retains the 212 area code, which is overlaid with area codes 646 and 917. The area codes for the remaining four boroughs of New York City (Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx) are now 718, 347, and 929. In August 2010, AT&T reported that they had no phone numbers available in the 212 area code. Those who are determined to have a 212 area code now must rely on luck of the draw when they establish their service or rely on websites where they can purchase the highly coveted area code to port to their land line or cell phone service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_212 |
