About the 743 region
743 covers Greensboro in North Carolina, including Archdale, Asheboro, Burlington, Clemmons and Eden. The code has been in service since 2016.
743 itself is an overlay: it shares its territory with 336 and was introduced when those codes ran low on new number combinations. New lines may receive either code, calls between them are local, and 10-digit dialing is required across the region.

- Never share verification codes, payment details, or remote access during an unsolicited call, even if the caller claims to be your bank or a government agency.
- When a 743 call pressures you to act immediately, hang up and contact the organization directly through its official number.
