In this case, the 814 code has been Overlayed with the 582 area code. New phone numbers in the Boot Jack area will be assigned with one of these codes: 814 or 582. As a result, placing a call in the Boot Jack area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
