Area code 912

About area code 912

NANPA lists 912 as an in-service geographic area code for Georgia, first put into service on January 1, 1954. It is an overlay: 912 and 565 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 Savannah, Brunswick, Hinesville, Statesboro, and Waycross. By population, its largest named places are Savannah, Hinesville, Statesboro, Pooler, and St. Marys.

Places served by 912

912 holds 12% of the 6,301 central office codes assigned in Georgia, the 6th most of the state's 10 codes. 55 Census places could be matched to rate centers with 912 exchanges; the most populous are Savannah (149,000), Hinesville (36,583), Statesboro (35,226), and Pooler (31,171). For a storefront or service area inside 912, the place pages show which prefixes are rated local there.

Ten-digit and seven-digit dialing in 912

According to NANPA's dialing-plan data, local calls within 912 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."

Carriers with 912 numbers

64 carriers hold the 729 central office codes assigned in 912. New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC - Ga has the most, with 155 (21%). 528 of the codes (72%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. Numbers can move between carriers through porting, so a code's holder tells you where the block started, not where every number lives now.

Rate centers and towns in 912

NANPA assigns each central office code to a rate center, the local calling area that decides whether a call is local or toll. 912 has codes in 72 rate centers. The table lists the rate centers with the most codes, with the matching Census place where the abbreviation could be matched.

Number supply in 912

An area code has 800 possible central office codes that start with 2 through 9, a few of which are reserved (such as N11 service codes and 555). 729 are assigned in 912, 91% of 800. 218 were assigned in 2020 or later. NANPA reports relief planning in progress for 912, the process used to add a new area code when one is projected to run out of codes.
