Michigan is getting a new Area Code 🎰

616 ..... 517 ..... 313

Michigan originally started with three area codes in 1947:

(313) - For Detroit and eastern Michigan
(517) - For Lansing and central Michigan.
(616) - For Grand Rapids, western Michigan and upper Michigan.

Now, I'm not going to even pretend to be smart enough to understand how phone numbers and area codes work, but apparently Michigan needs a new area code because we're running out of phone numbers!
