This is a list of future area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) that are in the planning stages for relief of central office code exhaustion in the given numbering plan areas (NPAs). The dates are subject to change during implementation as published in the official NANP Administrator Planning Letters .
Each NPA was identified by a three-digit area code used as a prefix to each local telephone number. The United States received seventy-seven area codes, and Canada nine. The initial system of numbering plan areas and area codes was expanded rapidly during the ensuing decades, and established the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).
