Area code 629

Area code 629 serves Tennessee, including Nashville, Murfreesboro and Franklin (Central time). It has been in service since March 28, 2015 and shares its area with 615.

Numbers starting with 629 drew 577 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 252 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 629 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 629 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 99% 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.
