Area code 470 – Georgia

470 has served Georgia since 2010, split from 678. All but a handful of its 786 number blocks are allocated (786 of 786), so it is effectively exhausted. No carrier dominates: Verizon 25.4%, AT&T 21.6%, T-Mobile 12.0%. It shares its geography with overlay codes 404, 678, 770, 943, so local calls take all ten digits. It is also among the most imitated codes in spam calls: 1,211 FTC complaints named a 470 caller ID in the 33 days to 30 October 2026, ranking 21st of 422 ranked codes.

What state is area code 470?

Georgia. It covers the same area as 404/470/678/770/943.

Can I still get a 470 number?

Only from recycled stock. 786 of the 786 available blocks are already allocated, so new numbers in the area normally come from the overlay codes (404/470/678/770/943).

470 is one of the most complained-about codes in the country – 1,211 FTC complaints in the 33 days to 30 October 2026, 21st of 422 ranked codes. Most of those calls are spoofed: the caller fakes a local-looking number because it gets answered more often. Look up the specific number rather than judging by the code.

Which carrier owns 470 numbers?
