'''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, [[Sanford, North Carolina|Sanford]] to the south, and [[Goldsboro, North Carolina|Goldsboro]] to the southeast. |
|||
It was split off from [[area code 704]] in 1954, and originally covered the entire eastern part of the state from [[Winston-Salem]] to [[Wilmington, North Carolina|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.
