History
[
edit
]
From 1962 until October 18, 1980, area code 903 was an area code for parts of northwestern
Mexico
served by Telefonica Fronteriza, which homed on AT&T lines in the United States rather than Telefonos de Mexico (
Telmex
). Telmex and the Mexican government forcibly acquired the TF exchanges, and in 1980, Telmex reorganized the area codes of the country, assigning 6 as the initial digit of 8-digit numbers in the northwest. At this point, 903 was withdrawn from use and replaced with
area code 706
,
[1]
as one of two area codes for alternative dialing into certain parts of Mexico from the United States. The other area code used for this was
905
. 706 and 905 were
dial-around codes
that replaced +52(5) for
Mexico City
and +52(6) for northwestern Mexico. In February 1991, 706 and 905 were withdrawn pending assignment within the NANP service area.
