Is Massachusetts a state?

The answer to this question depends upon your definition of big. If your definition of big is based on population, then yes, Massachusetts is a big state. Its population is 6,449,755, which is the fourteenth largest in the United States. Massachusetts' population is larger than such states as Arizona, Missouri, and Colorado. If your definition of big is based on area, then no, Massachusetts is not a big state. The only states that have a smaller area than Massachusetts are New Jersey, Hawaii, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island. Thus, most states are larger in area, including Ohio, New York, Illinois, and Michigan.

Why do States add area codes?

States add new area codes because the existing area codes are about to run out of blocks of numbers to assign for new customers. For example, the state of West Virginia was running out of blocks of numbers in area code 304, so they added area code 681 as an overlay. When area code 602 did not have enough number blocks for the whole Phoenix metro area, the state of Arizona split it into three, with new area codes 480 and 623 added for the east and west while the middle kept 602.
