MIAMI -- Phone numbers in Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys will soon have a new area code this summer.

Beginning Aug. 4, customers may be assigned a phone number with a 645 area code when requesting a new service, additional line or moving their service, according to a press release from the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC). The new area code comes as Florida's 305 and 786 begin to run out of phone numbers.

Currently, the 305 and 786 area codes serve all of Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys. The new 645 area code will co-exist with the other two throughout the region, PSC stated.
