The city of Jacksonville and other smaller surrounding communities of Northeastern Florida like Fleming Island, Jacksonville Beach, Fernandina Beach or Yulee will start using a second area code from February 2024. The new 324 Numbering Plan Area will be overlaid on existing NPA 904, forming a new overlay complex in this part of the subtropical state.

Key dates

• July 31, 2023 - permissive 7/10 digit dialing begins (local calls may be dialed using either 7 or 10 digits within NPA 904)
• January 29, 2024 - start of mandatory 10 digit dialing
• February 26, 2024 - new area code 324 enters service

With the activation of the new 324 area code the new dialing plan in this area will be: 10 digits for local calls and 1+10 digits for toll calls.
