Area code 910 is a geographic code serving Fayetteville, North Carolina in the Eastern time zone. It has been in service since November 14, 1993. Together with 472 it forms the 472/910 overlay. Because of number portability and VoIP, the area code tells you where the number was issued, not where the caller is right now.
NANPA lists 781 active NXX prefixes in 910, assigned to 52 carriers. 539 of those prefixes are pooled — shared between carriers in thousands-number blocks. The code spans 85 rate centers (billing localities).
Its parent code is 919, which it left in 1993. Later relief produced 336 (1997), 472 (2022) from its territory.
Official projections put exhaust for the 472/910 complex at 4Q 2050.
The dialing plan is 10D for home-NPA local calls and 10D across codes.
To check where a specific 910 number was issued, look up its six-digit prefix; to check who is actually calling, ignore the display and verify through an official callback number — caller ID is assertable and routinely spoofed.

FAQ
Why do 472 and 910 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 472/910 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 910 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 4Q 2050 — decades of capacity remain.
Why am I getting spam calls from 910 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 910 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
