In many major metropolitan areas, especially those with historic and iconic area codes, the demand for numbers often outstrips the supply. This shortage is driven by a mix of factors: high population density, a large business presence, the prevalence of mobile phones, and the social status or "cachet" associated with a specific, older area code. When a popular area code is exhausted, new "overlay" codes are introduced to serve the same geographic region.
