Higher pickup rates in SC
South Carolina residents and businesses are significantly more likely to answer calls from a local area code than out-of-state or toll-free numbers. A local number is the first step to getting the call connected.
South Carolina, by the numbers.
South Carolina started with one code, 803, in 1947, centered on Columbia and the Midlands.
In 1995, 864 split off for the Upstate (Greenville, Spartanburg). In 1998, 843 split off for the coastal Lowcountry, including Charleston and Myrtle Beach.
As numbers ran low in the 2000s and 2010s, 854 overlaid 843 in 2015 for the Lowcountry rather than another split.
That left South Carolina with three numbering regions: Columbia, the Upstate, and the coast.
854 is an overlay, not a split, so it covers the exact same Lowcountry footprint as 843, meaning two Charleston-area homes on the same street can carry different area codes.
