404 dates from 1947 and was Georgia's first area code. 770 was split from it on August 1, 1995, and took the suburbs outside the city.
The Public Service Commission chose an overlay over a second split, which would have changed the area code of more than 1.5 million numbers. 678 entered service on January 6, 1998, and ten-digit dialing became mandatory for local calls on January 1, 1998. 470 followed in 2010 and 943 on March 15, 2022.
