From Wikipedia

Area code 828 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for most of the western third of the U.S. state of North Carolina. The numbering plan area (NPA) comprises the Blue Ridge Mountains and most of the Foothills. The largest city is Asheville. Area code 828 was split from the 704 numbering plan area on March 22, 1998, to provide relief from numbering plan exhaustion brought about by the popularity of pagers and cell phones. In 2026, with the number of possible phone numbers running out, an overlay is being considered, which would give the area enough numbers for 30 years. The new number is not known.
