North American telephone area code 910 is an area code serving southeastern North Carolina, including the cities of Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Laurinburg, Lumberton and Wilmington.
It was established on November 14, 1993, as a split from area code 919. Originally, it covered the southeastern and east-central portions of the state. It was itself split on December 15, 1997, when area code 336 was created from most of the western portion (the Piedmont Triad).
The 910 area code (along with area codes 510, 610, 710, and 810) was used prior to 1981 by AT&T for their TWX, or TeletypeWriter eXchange network. The area code was decomissioned for TWX usage in 1981 when Western Union, who had acquired the TWX network in 1969 from AT&T and renamed it Telex II, upgraded the network to "4-row" ASCII operation (it previously used both "3-row" Baudot and ASCII transmission).
