From: Keith Petersen <w8sdz@brl> --forwarded from the Sysop Clearinghouse RCPM-- (818) Area Code Helper January 17, 1983 (2nd version by Kim Levitt) On Jan. 7th, the 213 area code which used to cover most of Los Angeles County was spilt in two. For the benefit of those who are changing dialing menus or macros, here is a list of the former 213 prefixes which are now 818. If you dial one of them without the 1-818, for the next nine months you will probably get connected, but you might get a recording which may, (probably will), keep your modem from connecting. After Oct. 1st, (or possibly sooner), you will not be connected unless you dial the (818) area code. The prefixes which were changed are listed below. 240-244 Glendale 246-247 Glendale 248-249 La Crescenta 280-282 Alhambra 284-289 Alhambra 300 Alhambra 303 Monrovia 304 Pasadena 307-308 Alhambra 330-339 Covina 340-341 Canoga Park 342-345 Reseda 346-348 Canoga Park 349 Reseda 350 El Monte 351 Sierra Madre 352-353 Sunland-Tujunga 354 La Canada 355 Sierra Madre 356 Pasadena 357-359 Monrovia 360-368 San Fernando 400 Pasadena 440-441 Pasadena 442-444 El Monte 445-447 Arcadia 448 El Monte 449 Pasadena 500 Glendale 501 Van Nuys 502 Glendale 504 Sun Valley 505-506 N. Hollywood 507 Glendale 508-509 N.

Hollywood 986-990 Van Nuys 991 Agoura 992 Canoga Park 993 Reseda 994-995 Van Nuys 996 Reseda 997 Van Nuys 998-999 Canoga Park The above list was compiled from a listing published in the Santa Monica Evening Outlook, supplemented by several calls to General Telephone Information. Any errors are probably caused by my poor proof reading. (Prefixes 505, 780-789, 790 and 791-799 were omitted on first version of this list. These additional prefixes were listed on page A-80 of the Pacific Telephone June 1983 Los Angeles White Pages, and have been confirmed to be a part of the (818) area code.)
