. Prior to October 2021, area code 845 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988. In 2020, ''988'' was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which created a conflict for exchanges that permit seven-digit dialing. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021. In April 2022, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) announced a new area code, 329, was scheduled to overlay 845 on March 24, 2023.
