The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has announced that it has assigned 835 as the new area code for the part of southeastern Pennsylvania that already uses the 610 and 484 area codes. The North American Numbering Plan Administrator said it estimates the remaining supply of available telephone numbers in that area will be exhausted in early 2023. The PUC said it will not assign phone numbers with the 835-area code until the remaining supply of 610 and 484 numbers is exhausted.
