| <5> | 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 440 code has been Overlayed with the 436 area code. New phone numbers in the North Olmsted area will be assigned with one of these codes: 440 or 436. As a result, placing a call in the North Olmsted area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |

The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.

When looking for a ZIP Code, whether North Olmsted or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). |
