All in the numbers
769 area code spreads throughout region
By Susan GraySpecial to The Clinton News
A new area code, 769, is slowly making its way around central Mississippi.
The new area code is a necessity because there are no more phone numbers with the 601 area code that can be acquired by telecommunications company AT&T Mississippi.
The numbers are acquired by telecommunications companies in blocks, and there aren't any blocks of numbers left to be acquired. But in the blocks already purchased by AT&T Mississippi, there are still some 601 numbers to be given out to customers.
That means lots of new customers will be getting - and getting used to - the 769 area code.
Well I just had no idea that the 601 was moving to the 769! Hold on to your numbers ladies...at least those of you still with a 601...cause once its gone...its gone for good!
R.I.P. 601
