Area code 463 is an all-services overlay of 317, so it serves the same central Indiana area, which the state describes as Indianapolis and most of its suburbs.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission held its public hearings in Indianapolis, Carmel, Franklin, Danville and Greenfield, and the numbering administrator's rate center map adds Fishers, Noblesville, Greenwood, Westfield, Plainfield, Brownsburg, Zionsville and Shelbyville. Most of the rest of central Indiana uses 765.

On April 8, 2015, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved an overlay for the 317 region, so no one had to change a number. 463 entered service on November 15, 2016, over the area that already had 317.
Every local call has needed all ten digits since October 15, 2016, whether the number starts with 463 or 317.
