What's changing with 565
The Georgia Public Service Commission approved an overlay on May 21, 2025, and the new code is 565. Phone companies start preparing their networks and notifying customers on March 11, 2027.
December 6, 2027 is the earliest date a 565 number can be switched on, and 565 numbers go out only after the remaining 912 numbers are used. NANPA projected that would happen in the second quarter of 2028.
Does dialing change?
Local calls in the 912 and 565 area use 10 digits. Existing 912 numbers don't change.
