Area code 770

Area code 770 serves Georgia, including Atlanta Northeast, Atlanta Northwest and Atlanta South (Eastern time). It has been in service since August 1, 1995 and shares its area with 470, 678 and 943.

Numbers starting with 770 drew 2,069 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 906 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 770 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 770 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 43% 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.
