Area Code

After next week, we're not going to be "The 518" anymore, we'll include 838. That means you have to go through all of your contacts and add 518 to their number, who wants to do that? Thankfully, you can get help!

It seems like a strange question since I've lived here my whole life but have you ever really thought about it? Where are the borders of the term "Capital Region/Capital District?"

It is true, a new area code is going in place within the Capital Region very soon. Our beautiful 518 is now becoming the 518/838. The one thing I hadn't even thought of though is how this will affect any phone call we now make locally.
