MIAMI (AP) 鈥 It looks like the singer Pitbull is going to have to add some digits to his ode to Miami's area code, 鈥305 Anthem.鈥
That's because Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys are getting a new area code, "645," starting next week.
Beginning next Friday, area customers who request new phone numbers will be assigned the 鈥645鈥 area code, the Florida Public Service Commission said in a news release on Friday.
The new area code will supplement the existing codes of 鈥305鈥 and 鈥786" which already are used for the Miami area and the Florida Keys.
鈥淲hile minimizing the impact to current customers, the Commission must plan for the continuing influx of new residents and businesses to the region 鈥 a testament to South Florida鈥檚 growing economy,鈥 Andrew Giles Fay, the commission's chairman said in a statement. 鈥淭he new 645 area code will ensure that customer demand for new lines is met.鈥
