- Sign up with a VoIP carrier. Voice-over-IP services (such as Google Voice, OpenPhone, Grasshopper, and many others) can typically provision a 689 number on request, especially for active overlay codes. You won’t usually get to pick the specific number, but you’ll get a working line in the area code. This is the cheapest option for anyone who doesn’t need a particular number.
- Port an existing 689 number. If you already have a 689 phone number with another carrier, you can transfer it (port it) to a new service provider while keeping the number. This works for landlines, cell phones, and VoIP services, though landlines outside of Florida sometimes can’t accept inbound ports of 689 numbers due to 911 routing rules.

Do I need to dial all 10 digits for local calls in the 689 area code?

Why was area code 689 created?
Rapid population growth in Central Florida exhausted available numbers in area code 407. The Florida Public Service Commission approved 689 as an overlay — rather than a geographic split — so existing 407 customers could keep their numbers while new numbers were issued under 689.
