Do area codes matter anymore?
As far as indicating a geography – no they don’t matter. I’ve proposed to the FCC that they should start allocating non-geographic area codes for consumer use. Today non-geographic area codes are only used for special services like toll-free, e.g., 800, and premium rate, e.g., 900.
Why are there so many ZIP codes?
As of 1963, zip codes’ numbers are determined by a few factors: the area, the regional postal facility and the local zone. The second two digits in the code determine a smaller region within each initial area that translates to a central post office facility for that area.
Why do some towns share zip codes?
When looking at postal codes around the world, there are cases where two different cities are served by the same postal code. Within AdvantageCS, cities can be set up to handle both of these cases, thereby making address self-service more targeted to the customer and label generation more specific.
