ummmm.... that wouldn't solve the problem of running out of phone numbers.
That is only solved by splitting the area codes.

If you don't, you still only have so many new phone numbers and are just
assigning them different area codes. Making exchange 999, for example,
part of the new area code frees up the 10,000 phone numbers in 216-999.

Each new areacode frees up between 7 mil and 8 mil phone numbers, give or 
take a few thousand... 211-1111 through 999-9999, minus the reserved ones.

Ameritech has mailed packets to several people I know...
