Your Phone Number Might Be Changing: New '628' Area Code Could Come To The '415' Zone

The CPUC is considering adding a 628 area code because all of the available three-digit prefixes in the 415 area code will be used up by October 2015. When there are no more prefixes available for assignment, more numbers must be made available, and this means the addition of another area code, the CPUC said in a fact sheet on its website.

The 415 area code is currently used in San Francisco, most of Marin County and parts of San Mateo County.

The CPUC can either divide the 415 area into two parts, forcing some residents to switch area codes, or assign the new 628 area code to new numbers
