Area code 448

Area code 448 serves Florida, including Tallahassee, Pensacola and Panama City (Eastern and Central time). It has been in service since June 22, 2021 and shares its area with 850.

Numbers starting with 448 drew 494 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 162 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 448 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 448 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 100% of these exchanges are pooled: their numbers are handed out in blocks of 1,000 to other carriers, so the holder below is not always the company serving a given number.
