What is 606

Area code 606 covers Eastern Kentucky — Pikeville, Ashland, Hazard, Prestonsburg, Morehead, and Paintsville. Appalachian Regional Medical Center in Pikeville is the Big Sandy River valley's largest employer and primary healthcare anchor. Cleveland-Cliffs' Ashland Works and the legacy steel and chemical industry along the Ohio River anchor the northern corridor. Morehead State University and the University of Pikeville serve the region's higher education needs. A 606 number establishes your presence in Appalachia's healthcare and energy economy.

WHY 606 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 606 number?

01

Reach Appalachian Regional Medical Center

ARMC Pikeville is the economic anchor of the Big Sandy valley, employing thousands in Pike County. Healthcare vendors and medical suppliers need a 606 number to operate in this market.

02

Serve the AK Steel Ashland corridor

Cleveland-Cliffs' Ashland Works and the industrial corridor along the Ohio River in Boyd County source from a dense supplier network. A 606 number commands respect with these buyers.

03

Connect with eastern Kentucky's universities

Morehead State University and the University of Pikeville anchor the academic economy. Professional services and staffing vendors benefit from local 606 credentials.

04

Eastern Kentucky's only code since 1984

606 is the original and sole area code for all of eastern Kentucky — a vast Appalachian region where local phone credentials carry significant weight.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 606 number.

Every 606 number ships with fourteen professional tools for Eastern Kentucky's healthcare-and-industrial economy — compliance call recording for ARMC Pikeville's vendor requirements, IVR for Cleveland-Cliffs Ashland Works' contractor community, and analytics for Morehead State's academic corridor and Appalachian Kentucky's healthcare and mining market.
