According to citypopulationreview, New Mexico is located in the southwestern region of the United States. It is bordered by Texas to the east and south, Oklahoma to the east, Colorado to the north, and Arizona to the west. To the south, it has a long border with Mexico. New Mexico’s landscape consists of several distinct regions. The Great Plains region lies in the eastern part of the state and is characterized by flat grasslands with scattered mesas and buttes. The Rocky Mountain region lies in the north central part of New Mexico and contains numerous mountain ranges including Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Sandia Mountains. The Basin & Range region lies in southern New Mexico and includes several mountain ranges separated by wide valleys. Finally, Chihuahuan Desert occupies much of western New Mexico which is known for its unique desert ecosystems with numerous species of cacti, yucca plants, lizards and other wildlife. New Mexico’s diverse terrain also provides plenty of outdoor activities for visitors such as hiking, camping, fishing, rock climbing, skiing and more. Its culture is also unique with strong Spanish influences present throughout much of its history that can be seen in its cuisine, architecture and art scene today.

This means that all existing telephone numbers will remain active while new numbers that are assigned will be assigned one from this new overlayed area code instead. This ensures that everyone can continue to use their current telephone number with no interruption or changes necessary while still having access to new numbers when needed for personal or business use in this growing state.
