Previous to joining the North American Numbering Plan, American Samoa used the

Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) on December 24, 2002.

Area code 684 was assigned on January 24, 2003. The area code was installed on October 2, 2004, when a six-month permissive dialing period started, and central office code were available for order. When the area code was installed, American Samoa had one rater center, and ten central offices. All calls within the numbering plan area are local calls, dialed with seven digits, or with the prefix
0
and the area code. The long-distance access code is
