Area Codes by City

Atlanta alone juggles 404, 470, 678, and 943 across the same territory. Add Savannah 's 912, Augusta 's 706/762, and others, and you 've got an area code puzzle. The table below maps Georgia 's codes to cities, but when you need to know who 's calling (not just what part of Georgia), look up the number for the owner 's information.

Important: Area codes are no longer reliable indicators of a caller's location. Number portability allows users to keep their numbers when they move, and scammers frequently use "neighbor spoofing" to make long-distance or fraudulent calls appear local.
