A brief description of North Carolina Area Codes is given below:

It was created on 22nd March 1998 when the code 919 became exhausted because of the too much demands for telephone connections. This area code is providing telephone services in the Coastal Plain Region of the state.  The northeastern corner of the state is completely covered by this area code. Major cities of the North Carolina served by the code 252 are Greenville, Kitty Hawk, Rocky Mount, New Bern, and Roanoke Rapids.

It is one the original area codes assigned in 1947. The code belongs to the state of North Carolina (NC) and serves Metropolitan Charlotte -- Piedmont region.

It provides telephone services in the western mountain regions of United States of North Carolina. Western North Carolina contains the Appalachian Mountains; therefore it is often termed geographically as the state's Mountain Region.

This is a North American telephone area code and providing telephone services in Piedmont Region. It was created on 14th November 1993 as a result in split of area code 919. It got a split on 15th December 1997 and introduced new code i.e. 336.

It serves some areas of the Piedmont Region. It was created in 1950 as a result in split of area code 704. The 919 code was emerged to serve all eastern areas of the state from Winston-Salem to Wilmington.

It was created in 2001; this is an overlay area which was added to the code 704 when the demands for phone lines were increasing drastically.

It is kept reserved for providing numbering relief to area code 919. The Code 984 had to be implemented as an overlay to the 919 code in 2001. However, the idea was postponed because the supply of numbers was supposed sufficient for the future.
