AT&T was allocated 984 661 1000 to 984 661 5999 last month. It's the first 984 block to be allocated to a carrier. Don't know if AT&T has assigned any of them yet. Number blocks are allocated to carriers in chunks of 1,000+ numbers on an as-needed basis. You can't walk up to a carrier and get any number you want. First the carrier has to be assigned the block, and then it's up to the carrier to decide how they want to use them. Some number blocks are assigned to large business or institutions that want a contiguous set of numbers. Other blocks are assigned to individual subscribers, and sometimes carriers will allow customers to choose from among those.
I lived in the Cleveland area when they split the 216 area code into 216/440. It really wasn't *that* bad. I mean, they only talked about it on every major media outlet 24/7 for months before and after it happened. If you didn't know it was coming, you probably didn't own a phone anyway
I guess I'm old school because I like the idea of a split better. Oh well
My cell is 919, but now I'm interested to see if our home phone will be 984 when we apply for it next month.
Your age is showing. (Mine too) Among the younger cell phone set, they keep the same 10-digit numbers as they move all around. To them, the first 3 digits are just that - digits - and have nothing to do with where they (once) lived.
I have friends who reside in California, Georgia, DC and all points in between who still have 252 or 919 cell phone numbers. They aren't even originally from NC but were here for work when they got their numbers, and have no plans to return to NC outside of visits.

As a young person still in college I definitely agree with the benefits you pointed out. My parents have lived in the same place for over 10 years and my grandparents have lived in their house since my father was a child. These numbers have always been the same while everyone's cell phones have changed several times. I guess I like the constancy and simplicity of landline phones. I still put my home phone on my resume along with my cell.
My parents had the same phone number from the day they got married until the day they died.
The blocks 984 232 1000 through 984 232 5999 and 984 661 1000 through 984 661 5999 have been activated and assigned to AT&T. If numbers haven't yet already been assigned in these blocks, they will be soon.
We moved here (clayton) from out of state and have to dial 919 for every local landline call we make. I thought that meant there were already multiple area codes in the area.
