Area code 679

Area code 679 serves Michigan (Eastern time). It has been in service since November 7, 2025 and shares its area with 313.

Numbers starting with 679 drew 3 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 3 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 679 number proves nothing about where a call came from.
