About the 463 area code
The 463 area code was introduced in 2016 as an overlay to the existing 317 area code, serving the Indianapolis metropolitan area in central Indiana. Here are the key facts about this area code: Overlay Introduction: As the demand for phone numbers increased due to cell phones, pagers, and fax machines, the 317 area code was projected to run out of available numbers by 2017. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved 463 as an overlay, meaning both codes serve the exact same geographic region. Geographic Coverage: Area code 463 covers the same nine counties as 317: Marion, Boone, Hancock, Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Morgan, and Shelby counties in central Indiana. Indianapolis, the state capital and largest city, is at the center of this region. Ten-Digit Dialing: With the introduction of the 463 overlay, all calls in the region require ten-digit dialing (area code + seven-digit number), even for local calls. This allows both area codes to coexist in the same geographic area. The 463 area code ensures Indianapolis and central Indiana have ample phone number capacity for continued growth while maintaining local number availability for residents and businesses.
Fun fact: The Indy 500, held in the 463/317 area, is the world's oldest auto race since 1911.
