404 is one of the original codes of 1947. 706 was split from it in 1992, and 770 followed in 1995, taking the area around the center.

Three codes have since been laid over both the center and the ring: 678 in 1998, 470 in 2010 and 943 on March 15, 2022. So 404 shares its streets with those three, and a local call is dialed with ten digits.
