The city has introduced new area codes roughly once per decade when available numbers run low. Each area code supports millions of possible phone numbers, yet rising population and connected devices have accelerated depletion. Officials said the addition follows standard procedures for managing numbering resources in high-density urban areas.
The new code will overlay existing area codes rather than replace them. Residents and businesses will continue using current numbers without changes to dialing procedures. No immediate alterations to service or billing are expected from the update.
