The 816 area code is nearly out of numbers. ☎️ 

Kansas City residents will start seeing a new area code pop up on their phones this fall. The new code, 975, will be assigned to new phone numbers as the metro’s beloved 816 runs out.
 
“The 975 area code will co-exist everywhere in this region with the 816 area code,” the Missouri Public Service Commission wrote in a press release. “All local calls within this region must be dialed using ten digits rather than seven digits.”

Head to the link in our bio for answers to more questions about the new area code.
