By Dustin Wlodkowski - Published August 4, 2021 Maine officials opened an investigation Tuesday into Verizon over a state brand: the 207 area code. Maine's Public Utilities Commission is investigating how the communications company forecasts its need for blocks of new phone numbers, which could hasten Maine getting a new area code. In recent years, the PUC has become concerned that it may no longer be possible for every phone number in the state to begin with 207 - numbers that have become engrained in Maine culture. https://www.necn.com/news/local/maine-opens-investigation-into-verizon-over-207-area-code/2527378/
