Numbering plan area 770 completely surrounds area code 404. The two plan areas are separated roughly by Interstate 285, known locally as the Perimeter. Generally, 770 includes most of the metro area outside the Perimeter, while 404 serves Atlanta itself and most suburbs inside the Perimeter; a few cities are split between the two codes.
Area code 770, along with 404 , is overlaid by area codes 678 , 470 , and 943 . Area code 943 entered service on March 15, 2022. The Atlanta area was the first city in the United States to have mandatory ten-digit dialing throughout its metro area, roughly coinciding with the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. This means callers in the metro Atlanta region must dial all ten digits (area code + seven-digit number) for all local calls.
A well-established Atlanta suburbs code, 770 spans Marietta, Sandy Springs, and surrounding communities that host some of the country's largest corporate headquarters. The Home Depot's Store Support Center, UPS Global HQ, and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics are among the most recognizable callers from this prefix.
