Area Code 458
The Oregon Public Utility Commission approved a number overlay with area code 458 for the entire area, resulting in mandatory 10-digit dialing for that area. Oregon's other area code overlay, (503/971), already had this requirement. Ten-digit dialing was phased in beginning in July 2009, with it becoming mandatory in January 2010. The first exchange to be issued in the 458 area code was 205 in Eugene in August 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words area and/or code:
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
