What is 708 area code?

The 708 area code is located in the state of Illinois, encompassing the southern and western suburbs of Chicago, including parts of Cook, Will, DuPage, and Kane counties. It was established in 1989 as an overlay to the existing 312 area code to meet the increasing demand for telephone numbers in the region.

Some of the major cities and communities served by the 708 area code include Oak Park, Oak Lawn, Cicero, Berwyn, and Orland Park. The area code covers a diverse range of neighborhoods, from urban centers to suburban residential areas.

As of now, the 708 area code is not projected to run out of numbers anytime soon, so there are no immediate plans for adding an additional overlay or splitting the area code. However, the continuously growing population and need for new telephone numbers may require future adjustments to the area code boundaries.
