In this case, the 419 code has been Overlayed with the 567 area code. New phone numbers in the Perrysville area will be assigned with one of these codes: 419 or 567. As a result, placing a call in the Perrysville area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
