History of 713 area code

713 area code is a telephone area code under the NANP for Houston and its suburbs in the United State of Texas. It is among the four original area codes assigned to the state of Texas in 1947 and it is in a complex overlay plan with area code 281, 832, and 346. This area code served the south-eastern regions of the state.

The area code was first split on March 19, 1983 creating area code 409 for the northern, eastern and western portions of the area. 713 separated again forming numbering plan area 281 in November 2, 1996 but 713 was kept by all cell phones users in Houston. However, the area code was running out of telephone numbers due to the popularity of cell phones and pagers hence the 713/281 border was removed in January 16, 1999 making an overlay plan. NPA 832 was added as a new area code for that service area and this enabled a mandatory ten-digit dialling for all calls. 713/281/832/346 is expected to run out of numbers by 2026.
