Area code 729

Area code 729 serves Tennessee (Eastern and Central time). It has been in service since September 5, 2025 and shares its area with 423.

Numbers starting with 729 drew 10 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 4 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 729 number proves nothing about where a call came from.
