Georgia is currently using eight area codes. Georgia currently has one area code, 470, which is assigned to provide
numbering relief but is not yet in service. Georgia utilizes three area code overlay plans, often called an overlay complexes.
Area code 404 originally covered all of Georgia when it was established
in 1947. It was not until 1954 that Georgia experienced sufficient growth in population and telephone use to need an additional area code.
