The phone number **440-937-2616** is part of the **440 area code**, which serves northern Ohio, including the suburbs of Cleveland such as Elyria, Lorain, and Parma. This area code was established in 1997 and is projected to run out of available numbers by the third quarter of 2024. To address this, a new overlay area code **436** will be introduced on March 1, 2024, allowing for continued assignment of phone numbers within the same geographic region without changing existing numbers for current users[1][2][5].
