Area code 408

Area code 408 covers the state of California and is used in areas covering subdivision Bay Area. Area code 408 came into being on 1st January 1959 as a result of area code 415 split. The area split again on 11th July 1998 and area code 831 was allocated to certain areas of:

• Santa Cruz County
• Monterey County
• San Benito County

Area codes sharing the boundaries of Bay Area in California are:

• Area Code 510 (created in 1991)
• Area Code 415 (created in 1947)
• Area Code 707 (created in 1959)
• Area Code 925 (created in 1998)

Till late 1970s, telephone customers of area code 408 and code 415 could dial seven digit numbers across the areas without dialing area code. There was no duplication of phone numbers at that time. With the passage of time, population spurt and technology advancement went beyond the capacity of this accommodating dialing plan. Therefore more splits occurred and now a days it becomes obligatory using area code with phone numbers to avoid duplication and accurate delivery of calls.

Areas get exhausted when no more phone numbers are available. To get rid of the problem areas are split into further smaller portions. New and unique code is given to each newly created portion. Adding new codes in existing areas make it possible to provide telephone services more efficiently and resourcefully. Phone numbers can be repeated while keeping the code distinctive.
