Arkansas Gets New Area Code (480 words) |
 | The nation's area code administrator issued the new area code after a decision Tuesday by state utility regulators to split the 501 area code to ease a phone number shortage. |
| To the chagrin of Arkansas Razorback's faithful, such as the Rogers-Lowell Chamber of Commerce, the new code won't be 464, which spells "HOG." Because 464 is a phone prefix in Bentonville, it cannot also be the new area code. |
| The supply of available phone numbers in the 501 area code is projected to expire in the first quarter of 2002 -- sooner than originally projected. |
