| Friends,
I wanted to share
with you some important information from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission
regarding “number exhaust” for areas in our region served
by the current 918 area code.
Recently, the Oklahoma
Corporation Commission approved an overlay plan which will add an additional
area code (539) to service residents who live in the current (918) region.
Don’t worry…all current residents, businesses, schools and
local governments will able to keep their existing numbers, and there
will no change to local call boundaries, or to 9-1-1 or 2-1-1 services.
However, starting in March of 2011, you will be required to dial a 10
digit area code for all local calls. Time to start re-programming the
current numbers in your cell phones!
The first phase
of the overlay plan is scheduled to begin on August 7, 2010. For more
information about scheduling of the plan, or to review some frequently
asked questions about why it’s necessary and how it will affect
you, please click
here.
After reviewing
the document, if you still have questions or concerns, you can contact
the Corporation commission directly at the follow phone numbers:
Main Commission
number: 405-521-2211
Tulsa area OCC Consumer
Services Division: 918-581-2869
Statewide OCC Commission
Services Division: 1-800-522-8154
Sincerely,
Representative John Sullivan
