470 area code
Atlanta and the surrounding metropolitan numbering region.
470 is an overlay across the Atlanta region, sharing geography with the established 404 and 770 areas and other overlay codes. It is not a separate suburb or a mobile-only prefix. When an Atlanta business receives a 470 call, the same address and callback checks apply as for an older local code.

Questions about 470
Is 470 a Georgia code or an international code?
470 is a geographic area code in Georgia within the +1 North American numbering plan. The full number and the caller's stated location are still needed to identify who is calling.
Is a 470 call safe to answer?
The 470 prefix identifies a numbering region, not a caller's identity or trustworthiness. Verify an unexpected request by contacting the organization through a number you already know.
Can I get a 470 business number?
Search the available numbers in VeraDial. Inventory changes, so a 470 number is not guaranteed. You can also keep your current carrier number and forward voice calls to a VeraDial line; existing texts stay with your carrier.
