This is gonna get interesting. The reporter hits it exactly, that 919 IS the triangle, and that most ppl arnt gonna realize for a long time that this is a local area code.


I didnt realize there were that many out west now... To me its always been 704 charlotte and 336 anything else out west. Charlotte also has 2 and then the 828 for the mountains

not a big deal. the lehigh valley introduced two new area codes in the last 6 years or so, no one minds.

It shouldn't really get that interesting, at least for people that have lived outside of the area at one point or another. I think it's pretty automatic for most people these days to remember 10 digits instead of just 7.

5/13/2011 8:50:36 AM

people remember phone numbers still?

5/13/2011 8:51:25 AM

This seems like something Andy Rooney would complain about.

I remember the day they created 336... and 910. I it was only 704 and 919 in NC back when I was a kid. Apparently 919 was split off 704 in 1954. Glad I'm not old enough to remember when it was only 704.

They should have kept 919 for Raleigh, durham, and Cary and assigned 984 to everyone else.

This would also serve to help push chapel hill out as the third point of the triangle, and just make it yet another town basking in the economic glow of the triangle.

I declare myself mayor of New Raleigh

Olde Raleigh sucks!

I'm shocked that no one has made the Simpsons area code episode reference yet.

5/13/2011 12:19:18 PM

Boo hoo. We had to change in Eastern NC like 15 years ago from 919 to 252.

Honestly, who remembers phone numbers. With a cellphone, I just program the whole 10 digits and really couldn't care less. Several of my friends that live here have cells from other parts of the country and I don't notice that shit a bit.

I like 919 too much. This means I will have to wonder before I dial #s if they are 919 or ... well shyt, I already forgot what that new area code is.

5/14/2011 9:28:39 AM

Petey Pablo is gonna be pissed.

5/14/2011 12:03:59 PM

does anyone still only dial 7 numbers anyway

5/14/2011 12:11:24 PM

^for local calls from my work phone.

RIP 9one9

5/14/2011 1:42:56 PM

when I was growing up, my 252 was 919.

5/14/2011 2:19:49 PM

Doh... it only took 11 years to happen

5/15/2011 1:49:47 AM

hell yeah no more freeloading off Raleigh's DIGITS

5/15/2011 2:19:04 AM

Can you still dial four digits on campus? Or did that go out with having to register in Reynolds?

5/16/2011 10:01:41 PM

^ 5 digits on campus. its been that way as long as I was at state (past 6 yrs)

5/17/2011 10:01:25 AM
