History of 984 Area Code
The 984 area code was introduced as an overlay to the 919 area code to address the growing demand for new phone numbers in central North Carolina. The region was originally served only by area code 919, which itself was created in 1954 after splitting from 704. Although plans for the 984 overlay were first proposed in around 2001, implementation was delayed for nearly a decade due to number-pooling and conservation efforts. As demand continued to rise, 984 was officially activated on April 30, 2012, and its introduction made 10-digit dialing mandatory across the region. With its launch, 984 became North Carolina’s eighth area code, and the state now has ten in total.

How Does a 984 Area Code Business Phone Number Work?
A 984 business phone number is a regular 10-digit number under the North American Numbering Plan used throughout central and eastern North Carolina. It works the same as any local number, allowing customers to reach a business through landlines, cell networks, or VoIP services with no extra steps.
Since 984 operates as an overlay to area code 919, the entire region uses mandatory 10-digit dialing. This means callers must dial the full area code plus the seven-digit number for all local calls for example, 984-555-XXXX. When dialing from outside the 984/919 service area, callers generally use 1 + area code + number, such as 1-984-555-1234, although the exact process can vary slightly depending on each carrier or device.
Companies can obtain a 984 business number through traditional landline providers, mobile carriers, or modern virtual phone number services. Many organizations choose virtual phone numbers because they provide enhanced capabilities like smart call routing, automated attendants, AI voicemail transcription, analytics, and integrations with CRM or help-desk tools. These features help businesses build a strong presence in the Raleigh–Durham and surrounding areas while improving communication efficiency and customer service.
