The 980 area code overlays 704. It serves the same geographic area and is used for new phone number assignments.
An overlay is a new area code introduced in the same region as an existing one when the original code runs out of available numbers. Both codes function in the same geographic area.
There are currently over 300 active area codes in the U.S., with more added regularly as demand increases.
Originally, area codes followed geographic rules, but with increased demand, overlays and new formats have made the system more flexible and less geographically strict.
