<4>	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 717 code has been Overlayed with the 223 area code. New phone numbers in the Lewisberry area will be assigned with one of these codes: 717 or 223. As a result, placing a call in the Lewisberry 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. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Lewisberry). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Lewisberry or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
