"A call came in in the morning and again 3 hours later. The CallerID said 'INMATE CALL' but the white pages lists it as a VOIP in Alamo, TN. I guess it could be a collect call from the county jail but as I don't know anybody in any jail anywhere I did not answer."
Area code 731 covers the western portion of Tennessee.
Area code 731 was created in September 2001 in a split of area code 901 . Prior to October 2021, area code 731 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988 and was therefore scheduled to transition to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
Western Tennessee outside the Memphis metro - including Jackson, Dyersburg, and Union City - is home to the 731 area code. West Tennessee Healthcare staff, manufacturing plant HR departments, and UT Martin admissions offices are characteristic callers.
