Area code 762

Area code 762 serves Georgia, including Columbus, Augusta and Rome (Eastern time). It has been in service since May 16, 2006 and shares its area with 706.

Numbers starting with 762 drew 1,349 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 361 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 762 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 762 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.
