What location is area code 762?

Answer 1

North American area code +1 706 and overlay code +1 762 are in northern Georgia outside the Atlanta metro area. They include Athens, Augusta, Columbus, and Rome.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
