What is the 601 area code?

601 is one of the original 86 area codes created by AT&T and the Bell System in 1947. It originally served the entire state of Mississippi. 601 was split in 1997 creating the need to update some of the phone numbers to area code 228, and again in 1999 to create area code 662. In 2005, area code 769 was created and is currently an overlay to 601.
