“Beginning in March (3/14/15), a "permissive" 10 digit dialing period begins. During this time, subscribers may dial local calls within the overlay area with either seven digits or all 10, and the calls will go through, according to a letter from the North American Numbering Plan Administration, the agency which assigns and manages area codes.
But beginning on Sept. 19, callers must dial with all 10 digits, the area code and telephone number, or else their calls will not go through.
The earliest date at which a new 854 telephone number can be issued will be Oct. 19, the agency said.
The current 843 area code zone generally includes the coastal region of South Carolina, including Charleston, Hilton Head Island, Myrtle Beach and Florence.”
