About the 228 area code
Area code 228 belongs to Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The region sits in the Central time zone (GMT -6), and phone numbers that begin with 228 are tied to this southern stretch of Mississippi.
The code entered service in 1997, when its territory was separated from the 601 area in a split. No overlay shares its footprint and no later code has been carved out of it, so its boundaries remain as they were drawn.
Dialing note: 228 was carved out of the 601 territory and went into service in 1997.
