Frequently Asked Questions

Virtual Town Hall

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission's Public Utility Division hosted a Virtual Town Hall Meeting on November 6, 2019, to inform the public about the area code relief process in the 405 area code.

Regulatory Background

In Cause No. PUD 201800086, Neustar, Inc., the North American Numbering Plan Administrator ("NANPA"), in its role as the neutral third party NPA Relief Planner for Oklahoma under the North American Numbering Plan and on behalf of the Oklahoma Telecommunications Industry, petitioned the Oklahoma Corporation Commission for approval of the Industry's consensus decision to recommend to the Commission an all-services distributed overlay as the preferred form of relief for the 405 Numbering Plan Area ("NPA").

On January 8, 2020, the OCC ordered that an all-services distributed overlay shall be utilized to provide relief for the impending exhaust of the 405 NPA. The all-services distributed overlay area code is 572.
