About the 601 area code
Jackson, Mississippi sits at the heart of area code 601, whose reach extends to Hattiesburg, Meridian, Vicksburg, and Pearl, all in the Central time zone (GMT -6).
601 is one of the original area codes placed in service in 1947. Over the decades it gave rise to 228, 662, and 769, and 769 now operates as an overlay across 601's territory, bringing ten-digit local dialing with it.
Dialing note: 601 is part of an overlay complex with 769, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
