In this case, the 270 code has been Overlayed with the 364 area code. New phone numbers in the Magee Springs area will be assigned with one of these codes: 270 or 364. As a result, placing a call in the Magee Springs area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
