Plans for NPA 835 withdrawn

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission formally withdrew plans for the 835 overlay in the 610/484 area codes on June 23, 2005, after number conservation measures and number pooling eliminated the immediate need for a new overlay. The 835 code remained reserved for future use.
