Area code 471

About area code 471

NANPA lists 471 as an in-service geographic area code for Mississippi, first put into service on January 30, 2026. It is an overlay: 471 and 662 cover the same territory, so neighbors on the same street can have different area codes. It is in the Central time zone.

Ten-digit and seven-digit dialing in 471

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 471 are dialed as ten digits (area code plus number) and toll calls as 1 plus ten digits. Ten-digit local dialing means the area code is part of how customers save and recognize your number, so print it in full everywhere. NANPA's dialing-plan note for this code reads: "1+10 digit permissible at service provider discretion."

A new code in an overlay

NANPA's utilized-code file dated 10/01/2026 lists no central office codes assigned in 471 yet. NANPA assigned the code on June 20, 2024 and put it in service on January 30, 2026. In an overlay, numbers for the shared territory keep coming from the older code (662) until carriers start drawing codes from 471, so a business phone number requested here today will most likely carry 662.

662 has been in service since April 19, 1999 and has 756 assigned codes held by 44 carriers across 122 rate centers. Its largest code holders are Bellsouth Telecomm INC d/b/a South Central Bell Tel (192), Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless - MS (91), and New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC - Ga (73). Its most populous matched places are Olive Branch (47,365), Tupelo (37,775), Greenville (27,015), and Oxford (26,801).

An overlay leaves existing numbers unchanged and adds a second code for new numbers in the same territory. Local calls there need all ten digits, so businesses should print their full number everywhere.
