Georgia Phone Numbers

Georgia has approximately 15.1 million active phone numbers. Cell phones account for the majority with 12.7 million users, while traditional landlines are declining with just 503,000 connections statewide. Internet phone services account for about 1.9 million numbers.

This means that when you search a Georgia phone number, it's most likely a cell phone. The shift away from landlines means newer phone numbers are typically harder to trace than older landline numbers that had more public information available.

Georgia Business Phone Verification
