603 Area Code Is Extended
The 603-area code will continue to represent New Hampshire.
Yesterday, Gov. Chris Sununu announced that federal regulators have extended the projected exhaustion date to midway through 2029.
Last year, Sununu signed an executive order to extend the lifespan of the 603-area code.
Created in 1947, 603 has served as a cultural identifier for the Granite State.
According to the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, adding a second area code in NH could cost the state’s business community nearly $500 million.
