Phone numbers with the 918 prefix originate from the northeast of Oklahoma.
Area code 918 was established in 1953. To accommodate growing demand, area code 539 was added as an overlay to the same geographic region on April 1, 2011, making it the first overlay in Oklahoma. As a result of this overlay, mandatory ten-digit dialing became effective on March 5, 2011, meaning callers must dial all ten digits (area code + seven-digit number) for all local calls within this numbering plan area.
The 918 area code is the original code for Tulsa and eastern Oklahoma. American Airlines maintenance base recruiters, QuikTrip corporate, and Cherokee Nation health services represent the area's distinctive institutional caller base.
