Find any 679- phone number in Michigan
The 679 area code is a telephone metropolitan-based numbering plan (NANP) code that covers part of the Flint, Michigan metropolitan area. This area code was put into service in October 2020, when it split off from 810. 679 is an overlay area code, meaning it was created to provide additional phone number capacity and was put on top of the existing 810 area code.
Michigan joins the ranks of many other countries that have established overlay area codes. This system helps to manage the ever-increasing demand of new telephone numbers, and the 679 overlay allows the 810 area code to keep its original service area. NANP area codes are grouped and managed by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator. These codes often provide insight into a geographical region and are helpful for residents to understand the area around them.
