Which Georgia Area Code Covers Where

2 of Georgia's area codes share territory with another. Codes in the same row serve the same places, so either can reach a number there — and ten-digit dialling is required throughout.

  • 470+678+943· Adairsville, Atlanta, Atlanta Northeast, Atlanta Northwest +37 more
  • 706+762· Appling, Athens, Augusta, Batesville +107 more

The remaining 5 codes cover their own area: 229, 404, 478, 770, 912.

How Georgia Got Its Area Codes

Georgia went from one area code in 1947 to 10 today. A split carves territory off its parent; an overlay sits on top of it, which is why newer codes need ten-digit dialling.

Recent Overlays — Ten-Digit Dialing

Georgia has had 5 area codes activated as an overlay since 2021, sharing territory with an existing code rather than carving out new geography. Local calls in an overlaid region must be dialed with all ten digits. Earlier overlays are not listed here.
