About the 815 area code

The code has been working since 1947, when the first area codes were handed out. Later, 779 was layered over the 815 territory, and the two now form an overlay complex where local calls require ten-digit dialing.
Dialing note: 815 is part of an overlay complex with 779, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
