[comp.dcom.telecom] New Area Code in Texas?

dattier@jolnet.orpk.il.us (David Tamkin) (05/10/89)

Tuesday evening, May 9, one friend of mine told me that another friend of
ours (who works for a long-distance carrier) found out that there is another
area code split upcoming: 214 is to be divided, and the part without Dallas
is to become 903 late in 1990 (even before 908 is introduced in New Jersey).

Does anyone have further information?  Why would 903 be revived before 908,
909, and 917 have been used even once?  Why, when it comes time for 903 to
be reused, would be it placed in a state (albeit at the far corner of that
state) along the Mexican border, comparatively close to where the original
903 [now 706] was, when there are other area code splits in the works
much farther from the old 903?
