New Chicago area code 872 goes into effect Nov. 7 - Message from Montie


Well as Chicago has been growing, it's time for yet another area code! Wee! The new one will be 872, and will cover.

The new area code, 872, will be used in the same geographic region. The 872 area code will be inChicago zones 1, 2, 5 and 11, locations where 312 and 773 area codes are used regularly as well. Keep in mind that people may use their cellular phones as a landline, and cell phone numbers will require the same dialing process: 1 + area code + phone number. I believe even if you are in the same area code, you will need to start dialing the area code.
