Area code 565 – Georgia, not yet in service
565 is a Georgia area code that has been assigned but is not in use yet: it is scheduled to go into service on 6 December 2027. NANPA records it as an overlay on 912, so it will supply new numbers across the same area rather than replacing any existing ones. Once live, local calls across the 565/912 codes will need all ten digits.
What happens when 565 goes live
- Existing 912 numbers do not change. An overlay only supplies new numbers.
- Local calls across 565/912 will need all ten digits.
- New lines in the area may be issued either code, depending on what the carrier has available.
- NANPA publishes the permissive and mandatory dialing dates in a planning letter before the start date.
No in-service date has been published yet. This page is updated when NANPA posts the planning letter.
