(area codes ‘803’ / ‘839’ are ‘telephone area codes’ in the ‘north american numbering plan’ (‘NANP’) for the central part of the american state of ‘south carolina’)
.
The numbering plan area (NPA) is anchored by the city of Columbia, the state capital. It also includes most of the South Carolina portions of the Charlotte, North Carolina and Augusta, Georgia metropolitan areas.Original numbering plan area 803

Area code 803 is one of the original 86 area codes assigned in 1947, when it was assigned to served the entire state.[1] In 1995, the Upstate was split off into a separate numbering plan area with area code 864. Until then, South Carolina had been one of the most populated states with just one area code.
While this was intended as a long-term solution, the rapid growth of telecommunication service in Columbia and the coastal region, forced additional mitigation action for 803 within two years. As a result, in 1998 the coastal region was assigned area code 843.
In May 2020, numbering plan area 803 was converted into an overlay plan by adding area code 839 to the plan area. The new area code is used for new subscribers.
This implementation made ten-digit dialing mandatory in the numbering plan area as of April 2020.

(previously, a ‘permissive 10-digit dialing’ began in ‘(late) october 2019’)
