Live in the 209? New 350 area code will soon be available in Central Valley area

California residents living in the 209 area code region will soon have access to another three-digit code if they are looking to change or get a new number. The California Public Utilities Commission approved in May 2022 the 350 area code to overlay the existing 209 area code region because of high demand for the existing code. With an overlay, multiple area codes can co-exist within the same area. The 209/350 area code serves all or parts of Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties. It also includes Yosemite National Park and Kirkwood Mountain Resort.
