R.I.P. 601

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!

That sucks! 769 just doesn't sound right.
