In this case, the 256 code has been Overlayed with the 938 area code. New phone numbers in the Yorks Mill area will be assigned with one of these codes: 256 or 938. As a result, placing a call in the Yorks Mill area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
