Florida's area codes are 239, 305, 321, 324, 352, 386, 407, 448, 561, 645, 656, 689, 727, 728, 754, 772, 786, 813, 850, 863, 904, 941 and 954.
Before 1995, Florida had only four area codes: 305, 407, 813 and 904. The others have been added since then.
The other codes, 239, 352, 386, 727, 754, 772, 863, 941 and 954, cover the rest of the state. The Public Service Commission's area code map shows where each one is.
In recent years, most new codes have been overlays. An overlay puts a new code over the same area as an existing one. People keep the numbers they have, and new numbers may be given the new code. Where there is an overlay, local calls need all 10 digits, the area code plus the number. 911 is still three digits, and so are 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 and 811 where they are offered.
