History of the 508 Area Code
On January 1st, 1999, New York state was split up into two new area codes – 518 and 914. Along with these changes came an adjustment to all phone numbers in the state. This adjustment made it necessary for phone numbers that were served by both area codes to be changed to a unique number. The original 10-digit dial plan (which was used prior to 1997) was adjusted so that each digit would have only one possible location code – this created more flexibility in calling across different areas of the country without having to use long-distance operators or pay high fees for toll calls.
For example: In order for a person from Seattle who called New York City from Seattle using their home phone number (518) they would dial 1 + 7 + 8 + 1 + 8 + 5 (the area code) and the number to reach their destination. In order for a person from Seattle who called New York City from Seattle using their long-distance phone number (800), they would call 1 + 7 + 8 + 0 (the area code) and then dial the local number.
