Why Metro Jonesboro Has 2 Area Codes

When a region uses more numbers than one code can hold, new codes are overlaid on the same territory rather than forcing anyone to change numbers. Metro Jonesboro now uses 327 and 870: same neighborhoods, ten-digit dialing, and every one of them covered by its own guide above.

How Arkansas Got Its Codes

Every Arkansas area code, in the order it entered service. Splits carved new regions; added codes overlay existing ones, which is why ten-digit dialing is standard.
