In this case, the 919 code has been Overlayed with the 984 area code. New phone numbers in the Tenney Circle area will be assigned with one of these codes: 919 or 984. As a result, placing a call in the Tenney Circle area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
