People with 510 area codes will of course be able to keep them - and most people just keep whatever cell phone number they were given as a teenager, anyway, wherever in the country that may have been. As with so many things in these parts, the powers that be are six months late, but now we get word via ABC 7 that 341 is coming, and soon. SFist first reported on the dwindling number of available 510 numbers back in 2016, and a second "overlay" area code for the region was then scheduled to be announced in December 2018. Long the land of 510, which residents held onto as a point of pride and badge of East Bay cred, the area including Oakland, Berkeley, Hayward, Alameda and other towns west of the hills will soon be getting a second area code: 341.
