Area code 470

Where area code 470 is

470 is one of 10 geographic area codes serving Georgia; NANPA records its in-service date as February 26, 2010. It is an overlay: 470 and 404, 678, 770, and 943 cover the same territory, so neighbors on the same street can have different area codes. It is in the Eastern time zone. The places with the most assigned exchanges include Atlanta, Winder, Gainesville, Cumming, and Buford. By population, its largest named places are Atlanta, Gainesville, Newnan, Canton, and Carrollton.

Ten-digit and seven-digit dialing in 470

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 470 are dialed as ten digits (area code plus number) and toll calls as 1 plus ten digits. Because local calls need the area code, business cards, signage and website copy should always show the full ten-digit number. NANPA's dialing-plan note for this code reads: "1+10 digit dialing permissible at service providers discretion"

Who holds 470 exchanges

44 carriers hold the 786 central office codes assigned in 470. Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless - Ga has the most, with 183 (23%). 786 of the codes (100%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. The code holder is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number today, since numbers can be ported between providers.

Local calling areas in 470

NANPA assigns each central office code to a rate center, the local calling area that decides whether a call is local or toll. 470 has codes in 41 rate centers. Rate center names in the file are abbreviations; where one matches a Census place, the table links to that city's local-number page.

Porting a number you already use in area code 470 is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
