565 Area Code
Future overlay of 912 – Savannah, Georgia
NANPA assigned area code 565 on May 27, 2025 as a future overlay of the 912 area, but it is not in service: no phone numbers carry 565 today, and none will until 912 nears prefix exhaustion and NANPA sets an activation date.
The territory 565 will cover
An overlay adds a second code to existing ground instead of splitting it, so 565 will cover exactly what 912 covers today: Savannah, Georgia and the surrounding area – 108 cities with about 1,048,998 residents inside the boundary (2020 Census). Existing 912 numbers keep their digits; the cities, counties, carriers and complaint figures for the territory live on the 912 page.
Status per the NANPA NPA Report, retrieved 2026-08-25. When NANPA announces an in-service date, this page becomes a full area-code page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 565 a real area code?
On paper, yes – NANPA assigned 565 on May 27, 2025 as a future overlay of 912 in Georgia. But it is not in service: no phone numbers use 565 today, and none will until NANPA activates it.
Why did I get a call from area code 565?
You didn't – not a real one. No numbers exist in 565 yet, so a caller ID showing it is spoofed, misdialed or misread. Treat such a call as fake: don't call back, and don't share information with the caller.
Where will area code 565 be used?
The same territory 912 covers today – Savannah, Georgia and the surrounding area. An overlay adds a second code to existing ground instead of splitting it.
When will 565 go into service?
No date has been set. 565 is a "trigger" relief code: NANPA activates it when 912 approaches prefix exhaustion, and only then announces an in-service date.
Will 912 numbers change to 565?
No. When 565 activates, existing 912 numbers keep their digits; only new lines may receive 565 numbers, and local calls in the shared territory will need all ten digits.
