About the 769 region
769 covers Jackson in Mississippi, including Bolton, Brandon, Braxton, Brookhaven and Byram. The code has been in service since 2005.
769 itself is an overlay: it shares its territory with 601 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 769 call pressures you to act immediately, hang up and contact the organization directly through its official number.
