FAQ

Why do 615 and 629 cover the same place?

They are overlays: when a code runs low on numbers, a new code is added over the same territory instead of splitting it. The 615/629 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.

Will 629 run out of numbers?

NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 3Q 2057 — decades of capacity remain.

Why am I getting spam calls from 629 numbers?

Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 629 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.

Where is a 629 number from?

629 is assigned to Nashville and surrounding areas of Tennessee in the Central time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.

Is 629 a toll-free number?

No. 629 is a geographic code; calls are billed like any other domestic call. Toll-free codes are 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888.
