The towns inside area code 662
Area code 662 is not a city code. It covers 122 separate rate centres — billing areas, each its own local calling zone. The largest of them are named in the table below.
That matters twice over. A call between two 662 numbers is not necessarily a local call, because they can sit in different rate centres. And a code this wide narrows a subscriber to a region rather than a town.
Mississippi is split across 4 area codes — 662, 601, 769, 228. By allocated blocks 662 is the largest of them, holding 38% of the Mississippi total.
Where 662 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Olive Brch and Holly Spg are shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 662 number still reports the carrier it started with. Closing that gap needs a live query against the routing database. How line type is derived.
