In this case, the 813 code has been Overlayed with the 656 area code. New phone numbers in the Willow Shores area will be assigned with one of these codes: 813 or 656. As a result, placing a call in the Willow Shores area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
