Pace Suburban Bus Route 213 to expand service Monday, sparking praise from transit advocates
Background The 213 area code was created in 1947 and was one of the original three area codes in California. The 213 area code was split five times between 1951 and 1991, creating the 714 area code in 1951, the 805 area code in 1957, the 818 area code in 1984, the 310 area code in 1991 and the 323 area code in 1998.
The 213/323 overlay area codes generally serve the downtown portion of the City of Los Angeles and the surrounding cities of Alhambra, Bell, Bell Gardens, Beverly Hills, Commerce, Cudahy, Glendale, Hawthorne, Huntington Park, Inglewood, Lynwood, Maywood, Montebello, Monterey Park, Pasadena, Rosemead, South Gate, South Pasadena, Vernon and West Hollywood as well as unincorporated portions of ...
Existing 213/323 customers will retain their area code and specific telephone number (s). Customers will continue to dial the three-digit area code for all calls to and from telephone numbers with the 213, 323, and 738 area codes. The price of a call will not change due to the overlay.
With new telephone numbers in the 213/323 area code region in high demand, the CPUC in March 2023 approved the implementation of an additional area code overlay, which adds a third area code to the geographic region served by the existing 213 and 323 area codes.
