Area code 662

Area code 662 serves Mississippi, including Tupelo, Columbus and Greenwood (Central time). It has been in service since April 19, 1999 and shares its area with 471.

Numbers starting with 662 drew 1,072 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 416 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 662 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 662 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 84% 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.
