How to Call Mississippi

Dialing instructions for reaching Mississippi from international or domestic locations.

1

Exit Code

If calling from abroad, dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 for Europe).
Skip this if calling from USA/Canada.

2

US Code (+1)

Dial +1. This routes the call to the North American Numbering Plan.

3

Area Code

Dial the 3-digit Mississippi area code (e.g., 601) followed by the 7-digit number.

10-Digit Dialing Required

Because of the 769 overlay on the 601 area code, you must dial the full 10 digits (Area Code + Number) for all calls in the Jackson and Central Mississippi region.
