<3>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 404 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 470, 678 or 770. New phone numbers in the River Run area will be assigned with one of these codes: 404, 470, 678 or 770.
