-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An area code is a three-digit prefix to a local number in North America (and British Overseas territories, such as Bermuda). The prefix represents a region in a certain state, province or territory.
Area codes only need to be dialed prior to the local number in one of the following situations:
1. The caller is outside the area zone
2. The caller is dialing from a mobile phone that does not auto-synchronize with local cellular/wireless service providers.
3. The caller is placing a call from within a region that has overlapping area codes - this is common is larger cities and metro areas.
Area codes are updated often. Splits, overlaying and discontinuations occur frequently - and therefore it's common to receive incoming calls from "strange" numbers, containing area codes that may seem unfamiliar.
Additionally, you can run an area code search (or use a directory) to discover the source of a long-distance number on your call display.
I'd recommend using AreaCodeLookup-USA.com to pull up the area code and view it's location details, overlaying codes (if any), cities within the coverage area and a visual map to clearly identify the coverages of each code.

What I'll be wasting many a evening upon...
By "major", I mean a state that has 4 or more different area codes in total, including overlays and splits.
I might as well start alphabetically, and so the first one is going to be Alabama.
I'll be updating the "links" section below as each page is created...
