Area code 229
Area code 229 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan for the southwest corner of the U.S. state of Georgia. The numbering plan area includes Albany, Valdosta, Leesburg, Bainbridge, Americus, Vienna, Fitzgerald, Ocilla, Cairo, Moultrie, Thomasville, McRae-Helena, and Tifton.
The area code was created in 2001 in a three-way split of area code 912, which had served the southern half of Georgia for 46 years. Savannah and the eastern portion retained area code 912, while Macon and the northern portion were assign to area code 478.
Unlike other Georgia area codes that have gone to 10-digit dialling, it's the state's only one where seven-digit dialling is still possible. That should remain in place until at least 2029 based on current projections.[1]
