The 805 area code, around since 1957, is going to be getting some company.
The public utilities commission says the available numbers are running out.
Now, a new area code will be added for customers starting in June 2018.
The new 820 area code will also call for a change in dialing procedure; callers will now always have to enter an area code before they dial the number.
The 805 serves Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, and just a part of Kern and Monterey Counties.
