207 Maine area code exhaustion date extended to 2036 due to conservation efforts.

Maine's 207 area code, the state's only telephone prefix, now has an extended exhaustion date of 2036, more than 12 years later than previously expected. This extension results from efforts by the Maine Public Utilities Commission, in collaboration with phone companies and federal agencies, to conserve phone numbers and manage distribution. Maine is among only 11 states in the U.S. with a single area code.
