Find any 680- phone number in New York
The 680 area code is an area code located in the North American Numbering Plan that services parts of New York state. The area code was created in December of 2000 as part of a geographic split of the 516 area code to meet the increased need for phone numbers. The original 516 area code covered the entirety of the Long Island area and Nassau and Suffolk counties. With the creation of the 680 area code, the Nassau and Suffolk area retained the 516 area code, while the 680 area code was assigned to counties located within the New York City region.
The North American Numbering Plan is a united system that assigns all telephone numbers within a country to a specific geographic area. It uses three-digit area codes as part of an overall ten-digit phone number to distinguish among telephone customers in a variety of areas. This type of numbering system utilizes a hierarchical structure in order to allocate area codes, country codes, and an individual customer's phone number. This allows for a large quantity of unique phone numbers to be allocated for use throughout a nation's population.
