Columbus, Georgia Area Code |
|
|
Columbus, GA Area Codes are 706 and 762 |
|
|
Columbus, GA is currently assigned two area codes 706 and 762. Columbus, GA utilizes an area code overlay in which area
codes 706 and 762 serve the same geographic area. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in Columbus because two different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven
digit phone number but each would have a different area code. The area code overlay which is in use in Columbus, GA today was put into service on May 6, 2006 and covers northern Georgia with a smaller
section covering western central Georgia.
In addition to Columbus, GA area codes 706 and 762 serve the major communities of Athens, Augusta, Dalton, La Grange, Martinez and Rome. At this time although
762 is assigned as an overlay of area code 706, it is not widely in use. Columbus GA is actively using the area code overlay. |
