929 AREA CODE CODE
On December 16, 2009, the New York Public Service Commission approved an additional overlay code for the 718/347 numbering plan area. On October 1, 1999, area code 347 was added as an overlay code to area code 718. A permissive dialing period for using either area code 212 or 718 in the affected area lasted until May 16, 1993. On July 1, 1992, the Bronx and the neighborhood of Marble Hill, Manhattan were also split from numbering plan area 212, and were added to 718. Permissive dialing of 212 continued across New York City until January 1, 1985. The split was implemented in a way that split the city's three million telephone numbers roughly in half. Despite this, New York Telephone implemented the new 718 area code on September 1, 1984. The announcement of the impending split triggered protests and threats of legal action from local officials and lawmakers representing the outer boroughs.
