Georgia area codes
Georgia uses 10 area codes, with 1 more assigned but not yet in service. The oldest is 404, in service since 1947; the newest is 943, from 2022. Across them 6,311 of 8,646 possible number blocks are allocated, 73.0% of capacity. 470, 678, 770, 404 and 706 are at or past 95%, which is why new numbers there come from overlays rather than the original code. AT&T holds 36.0% of the 6,311 assigned blocks across the state, ahead of Verizon at 13.7%; a further 9.8% sits with CLEC and VoIP holders outside the national carriers. In the 33 days to 30 October 2026, FTC complaints named a Georgia caller ID 6,567 times – 2.9% of all complaints in the window, most often 470 with 1,211 (21st of 422 nationally). NANPA has relief planning under way for 565 and 912, so more codes are coming. NANPA records 582 rate centers across the state's codes.

Block share is share of allocated number blocks, not of subscribers. Complaint counts cover 28 Sep – 30 Oct 2026 and reflect spoofed caller IDs as much as real calls.
How full Georgia’s codes are
A code holds at most 786 blocks of 10,000 numbers each. When a code fills up, the administrator does not reclaim numbers – it adds an overlay, and from then on new numbers in the same area come from the new code.
Full or nearly full
565 is in service with no blocks assigned at all, so nobody can hold a number there yet – a caller ID showing one is necessarily spoofed.
Who holds the number blocks
Counted from every assigned block in the state: 6,311 blocks, each with the holder NANPA recorded for it. Percentages are measured, not estimated.
| Holder | Blocks | Share of Georgia | Largest in |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT&T | 2,273 | 36% | 7 codes |
| Verizon | 863 | 13.7% | 1 code |
| T-Mobile | 675 | 10.7% | – |
| Other CLEC / VoIP | 620 | 9.8% | – |
| Windstream | 566 | 9% | – |
| Onvoy | 453 | 7.2% | 2 codes |
| Lumen | 289 | 4.6% | – |
| Bandwidth | 181 | 2.9% | – |
| Comcast | 116 | 1.8% | – |
| Charter | 97 | 1.5% | – |
| Peerless | 40 | 0.6% | – |
| Spok | 30 | 0.5% | – |
“Other CLEC / VoIP” is not one company: it is every holder outside the national carriers counted together, which is what resellers and app-based numbers look like in the records. This is allocation, not subscribers.
Spam complaints naming Georgia codes
FTC Do Not Call complaints where the caller ID shown was a Georgia number, 28 Sep – 30 Oct 2026 (33 days). Caller IDs on spam calls are routinely faked, so these are complaints about the code, not calls proven to come from it.
| Code | Complaints | National rank |
|---|---|---|
| 470 | 1,211 | #21 of 422 |
| 404 | 942 | #49 of 422 |
| 678 | 864 | #73 of 422 |
| 770 | 766 | #116 of 422 |
| 706 | 731 | #123 of 422 |
What people said the calls were about
- Other – 322
- Calls pretending to be government, businesses, or family and friends – 179
- No Subject Provided – 160
- Medical & prescriptions – 113
Topics as the complainant chose them, for the codes where the FTC published a topic.
What is coming next
One code is assigned to Georgia but not yet in service. Numbers in them cannot exist yet, so a call displaying one today is spoofed.
NANPA has relief planning open for 565, 912 – the step that comes before a new overlay is announced. Watch these codes if you need to know whether dialing or new-number availability is about to change.
