About: Area code 773

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Area code 773 serves Chicago, Illinois, outside the Loop and the innermost neighborhoods. Originally, all of Chicago and its suburbs were in area code 312. Then, in 1989, area code 708 was created for the suburbs, leaving the city itself in area code 312. The Illinois side of the Chicago area–312/773/872, 708, 847/224, 630/331 and portions of 815/779–is one of the largest local calling areas in the United States; with few exceptions, no long-distance charges are applied from one portion of the metro area to another.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Area code 773 serves Chicago, Illinois, outside the Loop and the innermost neighborhoods. Originally, all of Chicago and its suburbs were in area code 312. Then, in 1989, area code 708 was created for the suburbs, leaving the city itself in area code 312. By the mid-1990s, Chicago's continued growth and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers made it apparent that the city needed a new area code. It was decided to split off all of the city outside the downtown area as 773. The new area code went into effect on October 12, 1996. Permissive dialing of 312 continued across Chicago until January 11, 1997. On August 10, 2007, the Illinois Commerce Commission announced that area code 872 would overlay area codes 312 and 773; it went into service on November 7, 2009. The Illinois side of the Chicago area–312/773/872, 708, 847/224, 630/331 and portions of 815/779–is one of the largest local calling areas in the United States; with few exceptions, no long-distance charges are applied from one portion of the metro area to another.

  • L'indicatif régional 773 est l'indicatif téléphonique de la ville de Chicago depuis le 12 octobre 1996. L'indicatif 773 couvre l'intégralité de la ville à l'exception de Downtown Chicago (le cœur économique et financier de la région chicagoane) qui dépend quant à lui de l'indicatif 312. À l'origine, la ville de Chicago tout entière ainsi qu'une grande partie de ses banlieues (incluant neuf comtés de l'aire métropolitaine de Chicago, côté Illinois) dépendait de l'indicatif 312. Cependant, en 1989, l'indicatif 708 a été créé pour les banlieues et l'indicatif 312 est modifié pour n'inclure que Downtown Chicago. En 1996, l'indicatif 773 est créé pour tout le territoire de la ville de Chicago (sauf Downtown). (fr)
