About the 954 region
954 covers Fort Lauderdale in Florida, including Hollywood and Coral Springs. The code has been in service since 1995.
As the Fort Lauderdale region grew, 954 ran low on available numbers, so 754 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
