The “% of listed-city population” column uses the full populations of the cities listed here.

Caller ID is easily spoofed, so these figures reflect the number shown on caller ID, not the caller's true location – an area code alone never identifies a caller. The FTC does not verify the facts in these complaints. Source: FTC Do Not Call (DNC) Reported Calls Data, retrieved 2026-08-17.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 478 Area Code
Who called me from a 478 number?
A 478 number is assigned to Macon, Georgia, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 478 code to look nearby, so a 478 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 640 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 478 code (65% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.
Is 478 a scam area code?
No area code is a scam on its own. 478 is a normal, officially assigned code for Macon, Georgia. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 478 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 640 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 478 code (65% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.
Why do I keep getting calls from the 478 area code?
Repeated calls from different 478 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 478 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 640 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 478 code (65% flagged as robocalls). Blocking one number rarely helps; voicemail screening, your carrier spam filter, and the Do Not Call Registry work better.
Should I answer an unknown 478 number?
If you aren't expecting a 478 call, let it ring to voicemail. Legitimate callers leave a message, most robocallers hang up when no one picks up, and answering can mark your number as active and bring more calls.
How do I block calls from the 478 area code?
Block a single 478 number from your recent-calls list (iPhone: tap the number, then Block this Caller; Android: tap the number, then Block or report spam). To cut the volume, turn on Silence Unknown Callers on iPhone or spam protection on Android, enable spam filtering from your carrier, and register at DoNotCall.gov. Blocking the entire 478 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.
Where is area code 478?
Area code 478 covers Macon and the surrounding area in Georgia, spanning 71 cities with about 668,165 residents. No other code overlays this region, so 478 alone identifies the area.
When did area code 478 go into service?
Area code 478 went into service on August 1, 2000. It was split off from area code 912.
Is 478 a real area code?
Yes. 478 is an active code in the North American Numbering Plan, assigned by NANPA and in service for Macon, Georgia. A real code can still show up on spoofed spam calls, so treat unknown 478 calls with normal caution.
What timezone is the 478 area code in?
The 478 area code is in the Eastern Time (ET). Because a number can be kept when someone moves or switches to VoIP, a specific 478 caller may not be in that zone.
How do I call a 478 number from abroad?
From outside the US, dial your country's exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then 478 and the seven-digit number. From a mobile phone you can usually just enter +1 478 followed by the number and let the phone add the exit code for you.
