The 839 area code is a North American Numbering Plan (NANP) area code assigned to South Carolina. It is one of the original 86 area codes created as part of the NANP by Bell laboratories in 1947. The 839 area code serves a geographic area in South Carolina that includes the maximum population capacity within the area; this population is just over 1.7 million. It is part of the larger system of the NANP which provides ten-digit dialing throughout the United States, Canada, and several Caribbean nations, including the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The 839 area code was created to reduce the length and complexity of dialing domestic phone numbers, by dividing the state into two distinct geographic divisions: the have and have-not regions. The 839 area code is used for the have-not regions of South Carolina and replaced the existing 843 area code. The 839 area code is split in two between the coastal regions of South and North Carolina, and the uplands and mountain regions from this southeastern United States state. Major cities spanning the 839 area code include cities such as Spartanburg, Rock Hill, Hilton Head Island, and Myrtle Beach. The 839 area code is just one of many codes, serving to provide individuals, businesses, and organizations the ability to easily make and receive phone calls.
