0350

0350 is an area code in telephone numbering plan. It is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) and is assigned to the state of Georgia in the United States. The numbering plan area (NPA) 0350 was established on January 29, 2014, and is served by the Atlanta metropolitan area. This area code is allocated for use in the central office code 350.

The introduction of area code 0350 was part of the North American Numbering Plan's effort to increase the number of available telephone numbers in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Prior to the introduction of this new area code, the Atlanta metropolitan area was served by area codes 404 and 678. The allocation of area code 0350 helped to alleviate the shortage of telephone numbers in the region, which was a result of the rapid growth of mobile phone usage and the increasing demand for new telephone numbers.

The use of area code 0350 is limited to the central office code 350, which is a small exchange area located in the city of Atlanta. This area code is not used for long-distance or toll-free calling, and it is not assigned to any specific exchange carrier.

The introduction of area code 0350 has had a minimal impact on the overall telephone numbering plan in the United States. The new area code has been well-received by the residents of the Atlanta metropolitan area, who have appreciated the increased availability of telephone numbers. The allocation of area code 0350 is a testament to the North American Numbering Plan's ability to adapt to the changing needs of the telecommunications industry.
