321 Area Code — a code that serves the county of Brevard, Florida. He was assigned to the area after successfully filing a petition to commemorate the impact of the Cosmic Coast on the county. Code 3-2-1 resembles a countdown that places a lot of spacecraft from Cape Canaveral. Part 321 also imposes area code 407 in the Orlando area. Currently it is the only code in North America that is the overlay of one set area code, but also the main code of another. In addition, it is also the only code currently used in SatCom satellite satellites.
The Florida 321 code has been in operation since 1999. It has 230 fixed and 87 wireless prefixes (exchanges), served by 44 operators. It covers 4 counties, 387 zip codes and 39 cities, including Melbourne, Palm Bay, Cocoa, Titusville, Merritt Island, Rokledge, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach and Cape Canaveral. All of these places belong to the Eastern Time Zone (ET).
In December 1998, after hearings in September 1998 on the “Area Code Resolution 407”, the Florida PSC issued this order:
“Customer questions are also extremely important to our decision. In his testimony, public witness Robert Osband suggested that we implement a split using the new code. The area code is “321” to denote a countdown suitable for Brevard County, where the Kennedy Space Center is located and is widely known as the “Cosmic Coast”.
In 1999, February 10, the Florida PSC issued a press release on the order, which created code 321.
Beginning in November 01, 1999, the period of permitting begins in areas without labels, so this code completely replaced the code 407 only in Brevard county, which allows these residents to support 7-digit dialing. In the remaining 407th zone, code 321 will be an overlay, where guests will need to have a 10-digit set for all calls - local or long-distance. Subscribers in Bravard County can use either 407 or 321 to get to their side during the Permissive Period. It is at this time that the public is informed about the application of the new code. Brevard County residents will need new stationery and business cards to reflect their new code, but they need 11 months to go.
In 1999, December 1, the mandatory 10-digit dialing starts only in the overlay area. 321 began issuing numbers to users in the Overlay Orange, Osceola and Seminol areas. This means that people in the Overlay area must use a 10-digit set, since the number they are trying to reach can be assigned either in code or in both. Residents of the Overlay zone will keep their old phone number, and they will not need to change their stationery and business cards. Only new phone numbers will receive numbers in code 321.
In 2000, October 01, the obligatory use of area code 321 begins in the area without overlay. As a result, the resolving set ends. All callers must use the appropriate code when calling to Brevard County. Since the county of Brevard still has only one city code, residents support a 7-digit set for local calls.
