To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the New York Public Service Commission has approved an all-services overlay for the 516 area code region. The 516-area code comprises the entirety of Nassau County on the western portion of Long Island including the cities of Long Beach and Glen Cove, the Towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, and various villages within the Towns. The new 363 area code will serve the same geographic area currently served by the existing 516 area code.<\/p>\n
An overlay is the addition of another area code (363) to the same geographic region as an existing area code region (516). The overlay does not require you to change your existing area code or phone number, or how you dial your calls. You will continue to dial the area code and phone number for all local calls, as you do today, within and between the 516 and new 363 area codes.<\/p>\n
Beginning January 20, 2023<\/b>, customers in the 516-area code overlay region may be assigned a number in the new 363 area code when they request new service or an additional line. Customers receiving a 363-area code will be required to dial the area code and phone number for all local calls, just as customers with telephone numbers from the 516-area code do today<\/p>\nWhat will you need to do?<\/b><\/h5>\n
