Area codes 213 and 323 are California phone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan. They contain, roughly, the central area of ​​Los Angeles. 213/323 also includes several city gates in the region, including Bell and Huntington Park. Before reuniting on overlays by 2017, they have become separate area codes since 1998, with 213 containing downtown Los Angeles and its immediate adjacent neighborhood, with 323 containing the rest of the area.

Histori
1998-2017: Area terpisah
Area code 213 was one of three original area codes assigned to California in 1947. It originally covered the southern third of the state from the Central Coast to the Mexican border. The numbering plan area was extended to the north in 1950, requiring the southern part of the Central Valley, including Bakersfield, to change from the 415 area code.
As a result of the rapid expansion of southern California during the second half of the 20th century, 213 has been split on numerous occasions. The first regional division became necessary in 1951, when most of the southern and eastern sections, including Orange County and San Diego, were coded area 714. In 1957, 213 was restricted to Los Angeles County, with most of northern 213 and the western part becoming area code 805. In 1984, the San Fernando Valley and San Gabriel Valley became the 818 area code, making Los Angeles one of the first major cities in the US to be split between two area codes (New York City split between 212 and 718 in the same year ). In 1991, West Los Angeles and South Bay became the 310 area code.
Area code 323 was created in 1998 as part of 213. This split makes 213 one of the smallest area codes in the country, covering only Montebello and downtown Los Angeles and its adjacent neighborhoods, such as the Chinatown. It really surrounds 213, 323 covering most of the rest of Los Angeles center, including Hollywood, as well as some neighboring cities, including Bell and Huntington Park.
Since 2017: Overlay Code
Despite the continued rapid growth of Southern California and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers, 213 is not projected to dispose until 2050. In contrast, 323 is projected to be exhausted by 2017. Because 213 still has an abundant amount available, and than adding yet another area code to 30 California area codes which already exists in the service, the California Public Utilities Commission approved a plan that "removes" limits between 213 and 323, turning it into an overlay area code for all downtown Los Angeles. Because the change is fully valid on July 8, 2017, the telephone company has been able to assign every 213 numbers available in the former 323 area and vice versa, and customers with 213 or 323 phone numbers have been required to call the area code even to call 213 or 323 other numbers call 10/11 digits). This change brought back 213 to some areas that had used it for more than half a century before 1998.

In an advanced version of Horrible Bosses 2, the main character finds out that Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) left his own phone to Bert Hanson (Christoph Waltz) instead of being traced. Dale (Charlie Day) has an idea to call Bert, so he does not see through it. Kurt and Dale argue about not knowing each other's numbers until Nick (Jason Bateman) intervenes by saying, "I know your two numbers... Area code 323..." Then Kurt interrupts him by saying that's all he needs to call his phone..
