In this case, the 870 code has been Overlayed with the 327 area code. New phone numbers in the Possum Grape area will be assigned with one of these codes: 870 or 327. As a result, placing a call in the Possum Grape area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
