It served the Charlotte area until 1995, when it was split into two new area codes, 980 and 704.The 704 area code was originally carved out of the 910 area code, which served the southeastern corner of the state. The first calls in the 704 area code were placed on October 1, 1947. At that time, the only telephone exchange in the 704 area code was Charlotte, which was served by the switchboard at the Charlotte Post Office.

The 704 area code remained exclusive to the Charlotte area until 1995, when it was split into two new area codes, 980 and 704. The 980 area code serves the northeastern corner of the state, while the 704 area code serves the southwestern corner of the state.
