Area Code 586 In September 1999 the industry decided to further relieve 810 by overlaying the 586 area code, effective May 6th, 2000. On March 10th, 2000, that plan was withdrawn. On December 11th, 2000, the Michigan Public Service Commission approved a split of 810 effective September 22nd, 2001. Permissive dialing ended March 23rd, 2002.
