The 229 area code was created in 1992 to cover Southwestern Georgia, known for its diverse communities and rich culture. Today, 229 is tied to cities like Albany, Cordele, and Moultrie. It covers iconic neighborhoods such as:
Albany – the vibrant heart of the region
Cordele – known as the Watermelon Capital of the World
Moultrie – a city rich in agricultural history
For generations, 229 has represented local pride, offering the best of small-town life with fast access to surrounding areas.
The 229 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Southwestern Georgia. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 229 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 229 area code covers all of Southwestern Georgia, including:
Albany
Cordele
Moultrie
and many more.

"Having a virtual phone number has made ordering food so much easier without giving away my personal details, and it's been a lifesaver for signing up on dating apps too. I love that I can keep my private life separate while still enjoying all my favorite services."
