Northeast Ohio to Introduce New 436 Area Code
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has announced that Northeast Ohio's new area code will be 436, replacing the 440 area code for new cell phone numbers starting on March 1. Existing 440 area code numbers will not change. The 440 area code is expected to run out of available numbers in the second half of the year. The new area code has sparked discussions about its significance and potential impact on the region, with some residents expressing pride in their existing area codes.
