707 Area Code

The 707 area code is expected to be depleted of available prefixes by December 2023. On June 23, 2022, the CPUC acted to ensure that phone numbers continue to be available to meet the demand in the geographic region served by the 707 area code. The CPUC issued Decision 22-06-031 and approved a second area code (called an overlay) that will provide additional numbering resources for the 707 area code geographic region. The new area code to overlay the 707 area code is the 369 area code. The overlay will be effective beginning February 1, 2023. New customers will be assigned telephone numbers from the new 369 area code after all available prefixes in the 707 area code have been depleted.
