In this case, the 843 code has been Overlayed with the 854 area code. New phone numbers in the Becks Ferry area will be assigned with one of these codes: 843 or 854. As a result, placing a call in the Becks Ferry area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
