Everything about Area Code 407 totally explained
The
407 Area code is the
area code for the Orlando metro area including all of
Orange,
Osceola, and
Seminole counties, as well as small portions of
Volusia and
Lake counties. From
1947 until
1989, the 407 area code was part of the
305 Area code, which included the east coast from
Brevard County southward, including the
Florida Keys. After the split, 407 included the former 305 Area code from
Palm Beach County northward, and the Orlando metro area. In
1996,
Palm Beach,
Martin,
Indian River, and
St. Lucie counties were split from the 407 Area code to form the
561 Area code. The 561 Area code has since split forming
Area code 772.
In October of
2000, the
Brevard County portion of the area code became the
321 Area code. Aside from the small portions of Volusia County (around
Deltona, Florida) and Lake County (around
Montverde, Florida) which remained exclusively in 407, the remainder of 407 (Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties) was overlaid with the new 321 area code. In
2003 it was announced that all new phone numbers in these three counties would no longer be issued a 321 Area code, although current 321 numbers in the Orlando metro area would keep the 321 Area code. Aside from the small portion of 407 in Volusia County, there's mandatory
10-digit dialing throughout the 407/321 area.
Area code 689 has been allocated as a future overlay Area code, but it isn't certain when or how this may be implemented, although it's probable that the current 321 numbers in the Orlando area will all be shifted to the 689 Area code, making the Orlando area a 407/689 overlay and 321 an exclusively Brevard County Area code.
