No changes in dialing are required, officials said, but available numbers are running out.
In a statement, the Maryland Public Service Commission said “227” will serve the same geographic area as “301” and “240” after it approved a request from the North American Numbering Plan Administrator last month., NANPA — a third party entity that decides what numbers go where — said “the need for relief … is imminent.” The supply of available “301” and “240” telephone numbers is estimated to be exhausted in the second quarter of 2023, according to the commission’s statement.
“While residents in the 240/301/227 area will continue to dial calls the same way they have for more than 20 years, the [commission] urges consumers and businesses to be aware of the upcoming addition of a new area code,” the statement said.The “240/301” calling area serves residents and businesses in Allegany, Charles, Garrett, Montgomery, Prince George’s, St. Mary’s and Washington counties, the commission said. Frederick, Howard, Carroll and Anne Arundel will also be affected by the change.
The “301” area code was created in 1947, according to NANPA, and served all of Maryland for 44 years before the state was split to create Baltimore’s “410” in 1991. These area codes’ siblings “240” and “443” followed in 1997.The commission urged all residents to check their devices, including alarms and medical alert systems, to ensure that all numbers are correctly saved with area codes.
