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 910 code has been Overlayed with the 472 area code. New phone numbers in the Rose Hill area will be assigned with one of these codes: 910 or 472. As a result, placing a call in the Rose Hill area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).

ZIP Codes have been created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Rose Hill). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Rose Hill or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
