Find any 678- phone number in Georgia

The 678 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan, which is the system to designate telephone numbers in the United States, Canada, and several Caribbean countries. This area code is part of the state of Georgia and serves the Atlanta metropolitan area. It was created when the original 404 area code became too small to serve the population demands of the area. The code was put into effect in 1998 in an area code split of 404, where the remaining parts of Atlanta were switched to 678.

The 678 area code is used to dial local and long-distance calls. It is also used to access voice mail, internet, and wireless services. The code is known as an overlay because it covers an area that had already been served by the same area code, unlike the splits which only divided the area codes into two separate entities. In order to distinguish between numbers served by the two codes, ten digit dialing was introduced, where all calls had to include the area code. As of now, the 678 area code is expected to remain active through the year 2020.
