The area code also serves Wake Island in the western Pacific Ocean. The code was assigned on August 8, 1957, about two years before the statehood of Hawaii. Slightly over 1.4 million people live in Hawaii. Despite the state's rapid growth, and the proliferation of mobile numbers (particularly in Oahu, which includes Honolulu), a single area code is projected to be enough to serve the state until at least the third quarter of 2035. Prior to October 2021, area code 808 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988.
