History of Area Code 539

Area code 539 was established on March 24, 2011. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved it as an overlay for area code 918, which had served eastern Oklahoma since 1947. An overlay means the new code covers the same geographic area as the older code.

Area code 539 was added because the 918 area was running out of available phone numbers. The change did not split the region into new calling zones. Instead, new numbers in the same cities and counties could be assigned either 918 or 539, and 10-digit dialing became necessary for local calls.
