What is what area code is 762?

Area code 762 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the state of Georgia, which covers the majority of the northeastern part of the state, including cities such as Athens, Augusta, and Rome. Area code 762 was created as an overlay to area code 706 in 2005 to provide additional telephone number capacity in the region. Calls within the same area code do not require dialing the area code, but calls to numbers in different area codes within the same geographic area require the full ten-digit dialing.
