Nassau County is officially getting a new area code. In addition to the already existing 516, Nassau County's soon-to-be area code, 363, is set to be implemented during the second quarter of 2023, according to the New York State Public Service Commission
 
The announcement came Monday months after a petition was filed by SomosGov, Inc., following the revelation that the current 516 area code will "exhaust its supply of available numbers in the third quarter of 2023." 
 
According to the commission, existing 516 area code customers will NOT be affected.
 
“Customers will retain their current telephone numbers, and 10-digit dialing for local calls will continue,” the commission said in a release.
 
“The overlay area code will be assigned to newly issued telephone numbers in Nassau County once all existing 516 telephone numbers are exhausted, and will apply to all telephone numbers, regardless of service type. The new area code is projected to provide telephone number relief in Nassau County for approximately 49 years.”
