Area code 606 covers the eastern half of south-central and the eastern part of Kentucky. It runs along the entire length of the state's borders with Virginia and West Virginia. Most of its service area lies within the Kentucky region known as the Eastern Kentucky Coalfield.
In 1999, area code 859 was created from a split of the 606 area code. The northwestern portion of the old 606 territory, including Lexington and Northern Kentucky, was assigned to area code 859.
Eastern Kentucky's mountainous region - spanning Ashland, Pikeville, and Somerset - is served by the 606 area code. Rural healthcare providers, University of Pikeville admissions staff, and energy sector workers make up much of the call traffic.
