Area code 769
Area code 769 is centred on Jackson, Mississippi. We hold 2,379 allocated blocks for it across 84 rate centres, split 59% mobile, 23% landline and 18% VoIP.
The other area codes laid over 769
Area code 769 does not have Jackson to itself. 1 other code — 601 — 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.
6014,905 blocks, 107 rate centres, mostly landline
Each holds its own blocks and its own carrier mix, so a 769 number and a 601 number from the same street can report different line types. Filtering Jackson by area code needs all 2 of them.
769 is not confined to Jackson itself: its blocks sit across 84 rate centres, named in the table below.
Mississippi is split across 4 area codes — 662, 601, 769, 228. By allocated blocks 769 is the third largest of them, holding 16% of the Mississippi total.
Where 769 numbers are concentrated
NANPA truncates rate-centre names to ten characters and drops the spaces, which is why Silver Crk is shortened. Names are reproduced as recorded rather than expanded — the abbreviation is the key the block data is filed under.

AT&T Wireless alone holds 39% of every block in 769, which is unusually concentrated for an area code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 769 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 769?
Area code 769 covers Jackson, Mississippi. It is not the only code there: 601 is an overlay on the same rate centres, so a Jackson, Mississippi number can start with any of them.
Is a 769 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 769 the split runs 59% mobile, 23% landline and 18% VoIP, so mobile is the most likely single answer.
Which carriers hold 769 numbers?
The largest holders are AT&T Wireless, Onvoy, Bandwidth. That is the carrier the block was allocated to, which is not necessarily the network a given number sits on today.
How many 769 numbers are there?
The code holds 2,379 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 769 covers on the order of 2,379,000 possible numbers — most of which have never been issued to anyone.
