#909 area code map code

The 909 area code (Riverside and San Bernardino) was created when it was split from the 714 area code in 1992.Commission staff is assessing carriers' inventory levels to determine whether carriers should return more blocks to the 909 number pool. Number pooling rules allow carriers to maintain up to a 6-month inventory of available numbers. The PUC has reclaimed 70 prefixes throughout California and in 2002 convinced the two largest telephone companies to donate an additional 1,790 thousand-blocks throughout California, including additional blocks donated to the 909 numberpool. Number pooling allows for the assignment of numbers to carriers in thousand-blocks, groups of 1000 numbers, rather than whole prefixes or groups of 10,000 numbers. The Commission is continuing to petition the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for additional authority to pursue more ambitious number conservation measures, such as a specialized overlay area code for non-geographic phone numbers (numbers used for fax machines and data transmission) and more aggressive number pooling, while planning for the eventual need for new area codes in the 310 and 909 areas. The number conservation rules have also allowed carriers to continue to receive phone numbers to serve new customers in the 310 and 909 area codes three years after the previously forecasted expiration dates of these area codes. These rules have staved off what appeared in 1999 to be the necessity of adding 16 new area codes to California's roster of 25 area codes. In an effort to preserve area codes and minimize costs to homes and businesses of changing phone numbers, the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is monitoring compliance by telecommunication carriers with the telephone number conservation rules the Commission has implemented during the past three years.

PUC EFFORTS IN PRESERVING AREA CODES - 909 Pomona, Ontario, San Bernardino, Riverside, Big Bear, Corona, Moreno Valley, Banning, Hemet, Lake Elsinore and Temecula.General Information about the 909 Area Codeĥ05 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102 Starting today, the new area code 909 will serve western and central Riverside and San Bernardino counties and eastern Los Angeles County.

Last year, the 415 area code that served much of the San Francisco Bay Area for decades was split in two, with East Bay customers assigned the 510 area code. Large portions of western and southern Los Angeles County were broken off from the 213 area code to form the 310 area code earlier this year. The 909 code is the third new code to be introduced in California in the past two years. “We anticipate with continuing growth of population and technology that 714 will now last 12 more years with the split, and 909 another 25 years,” Murray said. Palm Springs, Needles and other communities in eastern Riverside and San Bernardino counties will remain in the 619 area code.Īt its inception, the 909 area code will have 2.75 million users and the 714 area code will drop to 3.5 million users. The 714 area code will continue to serve Orange County, the communities of Carbon Canyon and Sleepy Hollow in southwestern San Bernardino County and parts of La Mirada in Los Angeles County.
