Gainesville, GA is currently assigned two area codes 678 and 770. Gainesville, GA utilizes an area code overlay
in which area codes 678 and 770 serve the same geographic area. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in Gainesville 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 Gainesville, GA today was put into service on January 6, 1998. Area code 678 also
overlays area code 404 in the Atlanta area.
In addition to Gainesville, GA area codes 678 and 770 serve the major communities of Alpharetta, Atlanta, College Park, Douglasville, Duluth, Dunwoody,
Forest Park, Griffin, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, Mableton, Marietta, North Atlanta, Peachtree City, Redan, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Smyrna and Tucker. All of these communities including Gainesville, Ga utilize
the 678 and 770 area code overlay. |
