NEW AREA CODES BEING ASSIGNED IN WV - Your Neighbor Could Have Different AC

(12/08/2009)

Blocks of thousands of phone numbers have already been issued for seven prefixes within West Virginia's second area code, identified as 681. These new 681 numbers have been allocated to parts of Charleston, Fairmont, Petersburg and Morgantown. The new 681 numbers are assigned based on need. Last year, the state Public Service Commission approved a new area code for West Virginia because the state was quickly running out of 304 area code combinations. The overlay system means next door neighbors could have to call one another using different area codes.
