From my phone in North Reading, Mass. (617-664), I can now dial the area code 617 to reach exchanges which will remain in the 617 area, but not those which will become part of the new area 508 on 16-Jul-1988. 617-664 will become 508-664. The area code 508 is not yet accepted. David A. Cantor

I believe the due date for 508 will include a grace period, but they won't switch 508 into service until the EXACT date (Jul 8?).
