Some background on Idaho and its area codes
Idaho utilizes three primary area codes: 208, 986, and 385. Area code 208, established in 1947, was one of the original North American area codes and served the entire state until 2017. The introduction of area code 986 was necessitated by population growth and increased demand for telecommunication services.
Area code 986 was implemented as an overlay rather than a geographic split, meaning it shares the same geographic area as 208. This approach allowed existing numbers to remain unchanged while accommodating new users. The use of overlays has become a common strategy in managing number exhaustion without disrupting existing services.
The introduction of area code 986 required the transition to ten-digit dialing for local calls within Idaho. Additional area code 385 was introduced later for certain regions. The implementation of these area codes reflects Idaho's growing population and technological advancements, ensuring adequate number availability for future telecommunications needs.
