History
The 989 region split off from area code 517 in 2001. Before then, 517 had served most of the eastern half of the Lower Peninsula (except the southeast) for 54 years and had been the only one of Michigan's three original area codes to have never been split.
Telex
Area code 989 is used for the sending of telexes to Marine City, Michigan.
gollark: I can't actually buy 10 trillion multi-terabyte hard disks and ship them to every user, you see.
gollark: I have enough storage capacity available to hold maybe 1e13 bits at home.
gollark: Even if I'm off by 6 OOM, 3.7e26 bits is *not tractable*.
gollark: The board state can be encoded in 101.4 bits. The optimal position for that board state can be encoded in a further 6 bits. This gives us 107.4 bits per state.
gollark: Interesting.
