Area code 769

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Area code 769 is the first overlay telephone area code and fourth overall area code in Mississippi. It overlays area code 601, which covers central Mississippi, including the Jackson and Vicksburg areas.

Area code 769 was approved for use in 2005. Because of the overlay, 10-digit dialing was made mandatory in the 601 area code.
