September 16, 2016

Starting October 15, all local phone calls in the 317 area code will require 10-digit dialing.
In other words, 555-5555 should be dialed 317-555-5555 instead.
- The 317 area code is running out of numbers. The solution? The new 463 area code, coming in mid-November.
- 463 will “overlay” the 317 area. It will be assigned only to new numbers for new cell phones, new businesses, etc.
- If you have a 317 number, you’ll keep it.
- All calls that are local now will still be local. New area codes don’t change local calling areas or rates.
- Calls to 911, 811, 411, and 211 will still work the same.
- Have an alarm system? Check with your provider to make sure it’s ready. The same goes for medical alert devices.
- Have pre-programmed numbers in a mobile phone or business system? Make sure they’re ready.
- Between now and October 15, you can complete local calls with either 7 or 10 digits.
- If you try to make a local call with 7 digits on or after October 15, a recording will ask you to try again with the area code. Questions? Visit www.IN.gov/OUCC or call 317-232-2494.
