Area codes in North American Numbering Plan (NANP) designate a specific geographic region and every area has a 3-digit prefix (area code). Every area code has a unique territorial boundary encompassing many towns and cities, to ensure that phone numbers are distributed evenly. For instance, the 727 area code serves over 684,000 main lines and over 1.4 million people residing in its region. There are also several overlaying plans that are used when the number of codes available in a certain area become scarce. In the case of the 727 area code, it was created in 1996 as an overlay with 813 to accommodate the growing population in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area.
