Area Code 229 was created for serving the Georgia ? The State of United States. The particular code covers the areas which were once the part of area code 912. The code 229 was created in 2000 when area code 912 was getting exhausted and was running out of available phone numbers.
Areas are divided when they start lacking of available phone numbers; there is no other option except to split or to overlay the exhausted area. Areas are further divided into smaller areas and are assigned with new and unique area codes. The practice makes it easier to provide telephone services to customers according to their requirements. Area codes are kept always unique ? once the area code is assigned to a particular area, it would never be assigned to some other area in future. Codes are defined to make a distinction among different regions.
