Area code 773
text:
Area code 773 serves Chicago, Illinois, outside the Loop and the innermost neighborhoods. Originally, all of Chicago and its suburbs used area code 312. In 1989, area code 708 was created for the suburbs, leaving the city in area code 312. By the mid-1990s, Chicago's continued growth and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers made it apparent that the city needed a new area code. It was decided to split off all of the city outside the downtown area as 773. The new area code went into effect
