New area code coming to northeast Wisconsin next month

Move over, 920: You are not going to be the only area code for northeast Wisconsin soon. The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin announced on Friday that the 920 area code will run out of assigned numbers by the first quarter of 2024, paving the way for the new 274 area code. The 274 area code will be in service as of May 5th, 2023, but you will not have to dial it quite yet. New customers will not be assigned phone numbers with the 274 area code until all of the 920 options have been assigned. Since the North American Numbering Plan Administrator is establishing the area code as an overlay, you will be able to keep your number if you are a current phone customer. The area has not seen a new area code since the 414 area code was split in 1997, which established the 920 area code.
