City population is shown in full. The share of each city inside 479 is measured from Census tract centroids, not estimated from a rate-center match – so a city split between two codes appears on both, at the fraction each one actually holds. The “% of listed-city population” column uses the full populations of the cities listed here.
What counties does area code 479 cover?

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 479 Area Code
Who called me from a 479 number?
A 479 number is assigned to Fort Smith, Arkansas, so a call may come from there. But caller ID is easy to fake, and scammers often spoof a local 479 code to look nearby, so a 479 number doesn't prove the caller is local. Recently, 907 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 479 code (71% flagged as robocalls). If you don't recognize the number, let it go to voicemail; a real caller will leave a message.
Is 479 a scam area code?
No area code is a scam on its own. 479 is a normal, officially assigned code for Fort Smith, Arkansas. Spam callers spoof local codes to raise the odds you answer, so 479 on your caller ID says nothing about who is really calling. Recently, 907 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 479 code (71% flagged as robocalls). Judge the call itself, not the area code.
Why do I keep getting calls from the 479 area code?
Repeated calls from different 479 numbers are usually spoofing: a robocaller rotates through 479 numbers so each call looks local and slips past simple blocks. Recently, 907 unwanted-call complaints were reported to the FTC for numbers showing the 479 code (71% 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 479 number?
If you aren't expecting a 479 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 479 area code?
Block a single 479 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 479 code also stops legitimate local calls, so use it only as a last resort.
Where is area code 479?
Area code 479 covers Fort Smith and the surrounding area in Arkansas, spanning 99 cities with about 914,242 residents. No other code overlays this region, so 479 alone identifies the area.
When did area code 479 go into service?
Area code 479 went into service on January 19, 2002. It was split off from area code 501.
Is 479 a real area code?
Yes. 479 is an active code in the North American Numbering Plan, assigned by NANPA and in service for Fort Smith, Arkansas. A real code can still show up on spoofed spam calls, so treat unknown 479 calls with normal caution.
What timezone is the 479 area code in?
The 479 area code is in the Central Time (CT). Because a number can be kept when someone moves or switches to VoIP, a specific 479 caller may not be in that zone.
How do I call a 479 number from abroad?
From outside the US, dial your country's exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then 479 and the seven-digit number. From a mobile phone you can usually just enter +1 479 followed by the number and let the phone add the exit code for you.
