For the first time in more than 20 years, Colorado is getting a new area code.
Starting on April 12, 2022, telephone customers in the Denver metro will see new area code: 983.
Customers in the 303/720 area code region who request new service, an additional line or to move their service may be assigned the new 983 code, according to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
PUC said the current 303/720 area codes are projected to run out of available phone numbers by the fourth quarter of 2022. The new 983 code will not be assigned until the current numbers are exhausted, said PUC.
The new area code, which will be Colorado s fifth, is projected to last approximately 25 years.
Colorado has had area codes since 1947; starting in 2022, they ll be adding another one to go along with Denver s 303, and 720.
It s hard to believe it was over 25 years ago that the Colorado Public Utilities Commission added the 970 area code for Northern Colorado in 1995; at the same time, they added 719 for the Colorado Springs area. It was in 1998 that they added the 719 area code to the Denver area.
According to The Denver Post,
983 will be the new area code for the Denver Metro area once they officially run out of phone numbers using the 720 area code, but will be available in mid- 2022.
