<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 601 code has been Overlayed with the 769 area code. New phone numbers in the Free Trade area will be assigned with one of these codes: 601 or 769. As a result, placing a call in the Free Trade area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
