In this case, the 709 code has been Overlayed with the 879 area code. New phone numbers in the Fortune Harbor area will be assigned with one of these codes: 709 or 879. As a result, placing a call in the Fortune Harbor area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
