By numbering footprint the leading localities are Augusta, Columbus, Athens, Rome, Dalton, Lagrange, Calhoun and West Point, and 102 smaller communities down to single-prefix localities. Prefix counts track lines in service, so the ranking is a reasonable proxy for where the code's subscribers actually are.

43 of the localities fall within FCC top-100 metropolitan statistical areas; the rest are smaller communities.

100 of these localities are also reachable through other area codes — overlay territory where the same place answers to several codes.

All of the code's territory keeps Eastern time.

Remember that people keep numbers when they relocate, so a 706 number is a where-it-was-issued fact, not a where-they-are fact.
