Area code 770 – Georgia

770 has served Georgia since 1995, split from 404. All but a handful of its 786 number blocks are allocated (785 of 786), so it is effectively exhausted. AT&T holds 66.9% of those blocks, which is unusually concentrated for a US area code. It shares its geography with overlay codes 470, 678, 943, so local calls take all ten digits. 766 FTC complaints named a 770 caller ID in the 33 days to 30 October 2026, putting it 116th of 422 codes with five or more complaints.

Frequently asked about 770

What state is area code 770?

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

Can I still get a 770 number?

Only from recycled stock. 785 of the 786 available blocks are already allocated, so new numbers in the area normally come from the overlay codes (470/678/770/943).

Not by itself. 770 drew 766 FTC complaints in the 33 days to 30 October 2026, 116th of 422 ranked codes – mid-pack or lower. Spam callers spoof caller IDs, so the only useful check is the full number.

Which carrier owns 770 numbers?

AT&T holds the largest share of assigned number blocks at 66.9%. The rest is spread across 3 other carriers. This is share of number blocks, not of subscribers – people keep their numbers when they switch carriers.
