Central Florida has added a new area code – 689 & it’s being overlaid in the area currently being served by the 407/321 codes.

The Florida Public Service Commission has approved an all-services area code overlay for the 407/321 overlay region serving Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties, as well as parts of Lake and Volusia Counties.
The new 689 area code will be overlaid over the region now currently served by the 407/321 codes. The portion of the 321 area code serving Brevard Country is not affected and will not receive the overlay.
An overlay is an addition of another area code (e.g., 689) to a specific geographic region with existing area codes (e.g., 407/321). This change does not require customers to change their existing phone numbers.
Beginning June 4, 2019, customers in Orange, Osceola and Seminole Counties, as well as part of Lake and Volusia Counties, may be assigned a phone number in the new 689 area code when requesting new service or an additional line. This new area code will coexist with the current 407/321 area codes in that area. Those in Brevard County with the 321 area code will not be affected.
