Phone numbers with the 662 area code prefix originate from the northern half of Mississippi, which encompasses counties that are part of the Memphis metropolitan area, as well as cities home to the state's two largest universities.
Area code 662, introduced in 1999, operates within an overlay complex alongside area code 471 . Due to numbering exhaustion, an overlay with area code 471 was approved, with an expected in-service date of January 30, 2026. Prior to October 24, 2021, ten-digit dialing was implemented for this area code, a requirement for all calls within the region.
No, 662 is an authentic area code serving the northern half of Mississippi, including cities like Southaven, Tupelo, and Greenville. Fraudsters spoof this prefix to look like a local Mississippi neighbor, which is a common tactic used to increase answer rates for various telemarketing and phishing schemes.
Northern Mississippi residents are often targeted by "Entergy" utility scams where a robocall warns of a service disruption unless a payment is made through a pre-paid debit card. Phishing attempts also include fake "Publisher's Clearing House" calls that specifically target senior citizens in the 662 region with claims of a large cash prize. These callers often ask for a "processing fee" of $200 to $500 before they can release the supposed winnings to your bank account.
