When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 250 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 236, 257, 672 or 778. New phone numbers in the Bend area will be assigned with one of these codes: 250, 236, 257, 672 or 778. As a result, placing a call in the Bend area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
