Find any 681- phone number in West Virginia
The 681 area code is one of the area codes maintained by the North American Numbering Plan (NANPA). It is an overlay area code that was implemented in July 2001 to serve the entire state of West Virginia. The 681 designation was created as an overlay to the existing area codes of 304 and 622 to provide additional telephone numbers that could be associated with these geographic areas.
The NANPA is a governing body jointly administered by the Federal Communications Commission and Bell Communications Research. Its purpose is to provide numbering resources to the communications industry by assigning and administering area codes, central office codes, and local numbers to service providers. The organization is responsible for uniform dialing regulations and assigning area codes, making it possible for people within this region of the United States to connect to each other using their telephone numbers. The NANPA is also responsible for updating their system periodically to meet the needs of their customers, adding and retiring area codes as necessary.
