Area code 762
Area code 762 is centred on Columbus, Georgia. We hold 3,637 allocated blocks for it across 99 rate centres, split 47% mobile, 31% landline and 22% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 762
Area code 762 does not have Columbus to itself. 1 other code — 706 — serves the same rate centres, laid over the same ground rather than dividing it. That is an overlay: a new code added when the old one ran out of numbers, covering the same streets. Two neighbours can hold different area codes, so the code says roughly when a number was issued rather than where it sits.
7065,521 blocks, 112 rate centres, mostly landline
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 762 number and a 706 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Columbus by area code needs all 2 of them.
762 is not confined to Columbus itself: its blocks sit across 99 rate centres, named in the table below.
Georgia is split across 10 area codes — 470, 678, 912, 706, 229, 762 and others. By allocated blocks 762 is the 8th largest of them, holding 7% of the Georgia total.
Where 762 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Clarkesvl is 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 762 number still reports the carrier it started with. Closing that gap needs a live query against the routing database. How line type is derived.

Common questions
Where is area code 762?
Area code 762 covers Columbus, Georgia. It is not the only code there: 706 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Columbus, Georgia number can start with any of them.
Is a 762 number a mobile or a landline?
It can be either, and the digits do not say which. North American mobile and landline numbers share the same ranges, so the answer comes from the carrier holding the block. In 762 the split runs 47% mobile, 31% landline and 22% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 762 numbers?
The largest holders are Onvoy, AT&T Wireless, Bandwidth. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 762 numbers are there?
The code holds 3,637 allocated blocks in our copy of the numbering plan. A block is 1,000 or 10,000 consecutive numbers depending on how deeply it has been pooled, so 762 covers on the order of 3,637,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
