In this case, the 410 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 443 or 667. New phone numbers in the Sparks Corner area will be assigned with one of these codes: 410, 443 or 667. As a result, placing a call in the Sparks Corner area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
