Until September 1997, all of Utah was served by the 801 area code. At that time all of the counties outside of the Wasatch Front were assigned the 435 area code. North American area code 435 is a State of Utah Telephone Area code which covers all of Utah outside the Salt Lake City,
In 2000, the Utah Public Service Commission approved a split for 801 to take effect in 2001, in which Salt Lake County would retain the 801 area code and Utah, Davis, Weber and Morgan Counties would form a new non-contiguous area code 385. [1] Conservation measures allowed the repeated postponement of the area code split. [2]
In July 2007, the PSC of Utah announced that the conservation measures would be exhausted in approximately June 2008, finally necessitating the implementation of the 385 area code. The same announcement stated that 385 would be overlaid, not split, with 801, so that both 801 and 385 would serve all five counties belonging to the pre-overlay 801 area code.
The 801/385 overlay will introduce mandatory 10-digit local dialing to the Salt Lake/Provo/Ogden area on March 1, 2009. (Beginning June 1, 2008 and ending March 1, 2009, calls can be dialed with either 7 or 10 digits, after the ending date, as mentioned above, 10-digit calling will be mandatory. ). [2][3]
