New York City gets new area code

New Yorkers are getting a new area code.

The new all-services overlay area code, 465, will be rolled out across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Marble Hill, the New York State Public Service Commission said in a statement on Thursday. The agency announced the change earlier this year, citing an increased demand for phone numbers in the region.
