Area Code 985

Area Code 985 was created in 2001 for serving the Southeast regions of Louisiana State. However New Orleans located in southeastern area is not served by particular code. Reason for introducing new area code was the exhaustion of phone numbers. Area code 504 was just running out of available phone numbers because of the too much demands for telephone lines.
New area code 985 was formed for providing numbering relief to area code 504.
