New Area Code For Parts Of West Virginia

The West Virginia Public Service Commission decided yesterday to divide the state in half for purposes of providing additional telephone numbers.

28 northern and eastern counties will get a new area code sometime next year...residents in Charleston and southern counties will keep the 304 Area Code...now 61-years old.

The state has nearly 7-million possible telephone numbers, but cell phones, fax machines and other communiction equipment has created a crisis. The new area code number has yet to be selected.
