The area code was created in a division of numbering plan area 803 on December 3, 1995.[1]
Projections of 2021 anticipated the requirement of relief from telephone number exhaustion in the Upstate region with a new area code for 2024 or 2025.[2][3] On November 28, 2022, the NANP Administrator set the implementation target for area code 821 to mid-January 2024 by creation of an all-service overlay complex, approved by the Public Service Commission of South Carolina, requiring ten-digit dialing. Permissive calling starts there.[4] After mid-July 2024, callers continuing to dial the old method will hear recorded messages informing them to use the new method, and seven-digit local calling throughout the state will be over. Come mid-August 2024, new 821 numbers will get assigned.
