'''Area code 919''' is a [[telephone]] [[area code]] serving all or parts of 11 counties in the north-central area of the [[U.S. state]] of [[North Carolina]]. It serves the primary cities of [[Raleigh, North Carolina|Raleigh]], [[Durham, North Carolina|Durham]], [[Cary, North Carolina|Cary]] and [[Chapel Hill, North Carolina|Chapel Hill]], and the surrounding suburban areas of the [[The Triangle_(North_Carolina)|Research Triangle Metropolitan Region]], as well as the outlying towns and nearby rural areas of [[Oxford, North Carolina|Oxford]] to the north and [[Goldsboro, North Carolina|Goldsboro]] to the southeast. |
|||
It was split off from [[area code 704]] in the 1950s, and originally covered the entire eastern part of the state from [[Winston-Salem]] to [[Wilmington]]. In [[1993]], the western and southern portions of the area code were split off to form [[area code 910]]. In [[1998]], the northeastern portion was split off to form [[area code 252]]. |
|||
The area code permits 7 or 10 digit dialing for calls within the area code. |
|||
The area code is slated for an overlay with [[area code 984]], however the overlay was deferred in October, 2001, when the supply of numbers was deemed sufficient for the near term.<ref>Docket P-100, Sub 137B.

*North Carolina native [[Petey Pablo]] paid respect to area code 919 on his debut album ''Diary Of A Sinner: 1st Entry''. |
|||
* In the musical ''[[Rent (play)|Rent]]'', one of Alexi Darling's contact numbers left on Mark and Roger's answering machine has a 919 area code, even though she is an agent in New York City. |
|||
* Recently, the sexiest mutha south of the Mason Dixon line was forced to convert from his beloved 631 area code to the 919. While he believes that his shiny new iphone necessitated this transition, it is painfully evident that he’s slowly shedding his leathery New York exterior and is enjoying his evolution towards becoming a true Southern gent (Look at his 919 area code! Look at him eat barbecue! Look at him know which was to go on the beltline!). Anyways, thoughts on lunch? |
