In this case, the 573 code has been Overlayed with the 235 area code. New phone numbers in the Dent Ford area will be assigned with one of these codes: 573 or 235. As a result, placing a call in the Dent Ford area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
