Area codes 385 and 801

Area codes 385 and 801

The 801 area code, soon to be overlaid with the new 385 area code, covers the metropolitan Salt Lake City, Utah, area, commonly referred to as the Wasatch Front. Specifically, 801 covers Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, and Morgan counties. Some cities and towns included in this area code are Salt Lake City, Ogden, Layton, Bountiful, Orem, Provo, Kearns, Alta, Murray, Midvale, and Sandy.

Until September 1997 , all of Utah was served by the 801 area code. At that time all of the counties outside of the Wasatch Front were assigned the 435 area code.

In 2000, the Utah Public Service Commission approved a split for 801 to take effect in 2001, in which Salt Lake County would retain the 801 area code and Utah, Davis, Weber and Morgan Counties would form a new non-contiguous area code 385. [ [http://www.nanpa.com/press_releases/pr_050800.html New "2-way Split" Relief Alternative Approved for 801 Area Code] , NANPA, 31 December 2000. Accessed 13 July 2007.] Conservation measures allowed the repeated postponement of the area code split.

Accessed 13 July 2007.]

In July 2007, the PSC of Utah announced that the conservation measures would be exhausted in approximately June 2008, finally necessitating the implementation of the 385 area code. The same announcement stated that 385 would be overlaid, not split, with 801, so that both 801 and 385 would serve all five counties belonging to the pre-overlay 801 area code.

The 801/385 overlay will introduce mandatory 10-digit local dialing to the Salt Lake/Provo/Ogden area on March 1, 2009. (Beginning June 1, 2008 and ending March 1, 2009, calls can be dialed with either 7 or 10 digits, after the ending date, as mentioned above, 10-digit calling will be mandatory.)
