<3>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 608 code has been Overlayed with the 353 area code. New phone numbers in the Lancaster Junction area will be assigned with one of these codes: 608 or 353.
