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:
“Self-esteem is the real magic wand that can form a child’s future. A child’s self-esteem affects every area of her existence, from friends she chooses, to how well she does academically in school, to what kind of job she gets, to even the person she chooses to marry.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
Which holds that Man is naturally good,
And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
scourged.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
