Why Metro Boston Has 7 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 Boston now uses 339, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857 and 978: same neighborhoods, ten-digit dialing, and every one of them covered by its own guide above.

How Massachusetts Got Its Codes
Every Massachusetts 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.
