About area code 762

Area code 762 is a geographic area code in Georgia, in service since May 16, 2006, according to the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA). It is an overlay: 762 and 706 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 Columbus, Rome, Thomaston, Calhoun, and Dalton. By population, its largest named places are Columbus, Rome, Dalton, LaGrange, and Calhoun.

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 762 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.

Who holds 762 exchanges

48 carriers hold the 376 central office codes assigned in 762. Onvoy, LLC - Ga has the most, with 81 (22%). 376 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.
