Area code 772

Area code 772 serves Florida, including Port Saint Lucie, Vero Beach and Stuart (Eastern time). It has been in service since February 11, 2002.

Phone companies holding 772 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 75% 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.
