New/recent overlays: Area code 835 was recently added as on overaly to the 484 area code on September 2, 2022.
Mnemonics: Prior to 1995, the middle digit of area codes was restricted to a 0 or 1 which do not correspond to a letter on a phone’s dialing pad. So, only area codes created in 1995 or later can have a mnemonic.
