Phone numbers with the 912 area code prefix originate from the southeastern part of Georgia, encompassing a diverse range of counties and cities, from coastal areas to more inland communities.
The 912 area code is part of an overlay complex. In May 2025, a new area code, 565 , was approved to overlay the 912 geographic region due to anticipated central office code exhaustion. This means that both 912 and 565 will serve the same geographic area. Additionally, 912 transitioned to mandatory ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021, a requirement for all calls within the area code.
Southeastern Georgia's 912 area code covers Savannah, Hinesville, and Brunswick - a coastal corridor shaped by aerospace manufacturing, port logistics, and military operations. Gulfstream Aerospace recruiters, Georgia Ports Authority logistics staff, and Fort Stewart housing offices are among the typical callers.
