Brunswick County telephone
subscribers will be served by a new
area code come November.
For nearly four decades, tele
phone numbers in North Carolina
have been in either the 919 or 704
area codcs. That pattern is about to
change, according to Russell Price,
general manager of Atlantic
Telephone Membership Corp. in
Shallotte.
On Nov. 14, North Carolina's lo
cal telephone companies will divide
the current 919 area codc to create a
new 910 area code. The new code
will affect all telephone subscribers
in a vertical midsection of the state
that includes the Wilmington,
Fayetteville and Greensboro calling
WIICS.
The Raleigh and Rocky Mount
calling zones will remain in 919.
The 704 area codc will not be affect
ed.
Price said the new codc is need
ed to meet the demand for numbers.
The 911 codc is rapidly running out
of unassigncd exchange codes.
These three-digit prefixes designate
local exchanges and arc required to
create new telephone numbers.
He attributes the need to recent
growth in telecommunications in
