2 years 6 months ago
STAUNTON – With new telephone numbers in southern Illinois in high demand, the Illinois Commerce Commission approved the implementation of the new 730 area code to overlay the existing 618 area code region. The 618 area code serves all or part of 37 counties, and includes communities such as Alton, Belleville, Cairo, Carbondale, Centralia, Collinsville, East St. Louis, Edwardsville, Effingham, Granite City, Edwardsville, and Marion, as well as many other smaller communities. Starting on July 7, 2023 , customers in the 618 area code overlay region may be assigned a number in the new 730 area code when they request new service or an additional line.
