Find any 769- phone number in Mississippi
The 769 area code is one of the original area codes developed for Mississippi in 1997. It serves the south and central parts of the state, including Jackson and its immediate suburbs, as well as smaller towns such as Brookhaven, McComb, Hattiesburg, and Natchez. Mobile phones in this area utilize either the 769 or 601 area code.
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) assigns phone number area codes to specific regions throughout the United States, Canada, and some Caribbean countries. Its purpose is to ensure that calls are correctly routed to the right area and to prevent the same area code from being used multiple times. In addition to regulating landline telephone numbers, this system also dictates the codes for cellphone numbers. Area codes often change over time, as demand for new numbers increases or if an area is split off to form its own code. Mississippi is serviced by seven NANP area codes in total.
