Area code 943

Area code 943 serves Georgia, including Atlanta, Atlanta Northeast and Atlanta Northwest (Eastern time). It has been in service since March 15, 2022.

Numbers starting with 943 drew 955 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 354 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 943 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 943 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.
