In this case, the 801 code has been Overlayed with the 385 area code. New phone numbers in the Farr West area will be assigned with one of these codes: 801 or 385. As a result, placing a call in the Farr West 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.
