FAQ

Where is a 912 number from?

912 is assigned to Savannah and surrounding areas of Georgia in the Eastern time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.

Is 912 a toll-free number?

No. 912 is a geographic code; calls are billed like any other domestic call. Toll-free codes are 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888.

Why do 565 and 912 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 565/912 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.

Will 912 run out of numbers?

NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 2Q 2028, so a new overlay is likely to be planned.
