Telephone area code in Southern Mississippi

Numbering plan areas and area codes of Mississippi

**Area code 228** is the telephone [area code](/source/NPA_code) in the [North American Numbering Plan](/source/North_American_Numbering_Plan) (NANP) for the Gulf Coast in the [U.S. state](/source/U.S._state) of [Mississippi](/source/Mississippi), serving the three counties in the state's southeastern tip: [Hancock](/source/Hancock_County%2C_Mississippi), [Harrison](/source/Harrison_County%2C_Mississippi), and [Jackson](/source/Jackson_County%2C_Mississippi). It was the second area code created in the state, when in 1997, the numbering plan area was split from the original, state-wide [area code 601](/source/Area_code_601). Area code 601 was further reduced in size when [area code 662](/source/Area_code_662) was created in 1999 for the northern half of Mississippi.

Exhaustion analysis of this small numbering plan area shows that exhaustion is unlikely for the foreseeable future.[1]
