To better serve a growing population and its increased
reliance on modems, wireless phones, fax machines, and
pagers, the phone companies o f Oregon have added a
new 971 area code to the 503 area. This kind of change is not just occurring in
Oregon, but throughout the country. And because the new codes differ in format from
previous codes that contained either a ‘I ’ or a ‘0’ in the second digit, you should check
all specialized Central Office-based systems for compatibility. Some of these systems
may require reprogramming or upgrading. Cellular phones must be reprogrammed by
your cellular service provider.
To test your equipment, call the new Oregon area code test line at
1-800*000-0000. If you have any difficulty dialing the new area
code, please call your operator to assist you in placing your call.
