Area Code Plan Put On Hold

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission voted to put the 814 area code relief plan on hold at least until 2018.

The commission voted 5-0 this morning to dismiss the petition filed by North American Number Planning Administrator that said numbers in the area code would be running out this month and they needed to do something about it.

New studies show numbers won’t run out for six more years.

“This is certainly great news, as I recognize that any form of area code relief has an impact on industry and the public. Today’s action certainly helps minimize that impact,” said PUC Vice Chairman John F. Coleman Jr. in a news release.

The PUC had originally said the 814 area code region would be cut in half, with people in the western half of the region getting a new area code.
