New Area Code

It has been announced that Austin is getting a new area code. The new area code will be 737. If you have a 512 number, you’ll need to start dialing all ten digits starting in June of 2013. The new area code itself will start being distributed on July 1st, 2013. Personally, when I get a fax line again, I will make sure it is a 737 number, so I don't get the endless collection and telemarketing calls meant for a previous owner of the number. If the number never existed before, I can rest assured that calls (assuming not miscalled) are in fact, for me.
