Area code 912

Area code 912 serves Georgia, including Savannah, Brunswick and Hinesville (Eastern time). It has been in service since January 1, 1954 and shares its area with 565.

Numbers starting with 912 drew 1,517 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 736 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 912 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 912 exchanges
