Area Codes

Splitting an area code into two area codes doubles the available phone numbers. However, simply adding another digit to existing phone numbers (making them eight numbers instead of seven) leads to a tenfold increase in phone numbers for an area code. And isn’t it easier to remember one more number rather than three?

Existing numbers could all just have a zero added to them. What about this easy solution?
