This area code is used by local residents and businesses in the counties that it serves, including the cities of Hazard and Ashland.
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is an area code system used by Canada and the United States for assigning telephone numbers. It consists of a three-digit area code, followed by a seven-digit telephone number. To accommodate population growth in areas and related increases in demand for telephone services, area codes must occasionally be divided into smaller and smaller parts. The 606 area code was one of these divisions, carved out of the original 270 area code. As part of the NANP telephonic numbering system, 606 area codes are formatted to form ten-digit phone numbers in the form NPA-NXX-XXXX.
