Original numbering plan area 803. Area code 803 is one of the original 86 area codes assigned in 1947, when it was assigned to serve the entire state. [1] In 1995, the Upstate was split off into a separate numbering plan area with area code 864. Until then, South Carolina had been one of the most populated states with just one area code.
Area codes are also assigned for non-geographic purposes. The rules for numbering NPAs do not permit the digits 0 and 1 in the leading position.
