Tennessee 423/729 Overlay To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the Tennessee Public Utilities Commission ap proved the addition of the new 729 Area Code to the geographic region served by 423 – this is called an Area Code Overlay. The Area Code overlay will require changes to the way you dial a local call. The new dialing procedure requires callers to dial the full ten-digit telephone number (Area Code + seven-digit telephone number) to complete local calls. Mandatory ten-digit dialing begins August 5, 2025. As of this date, you must dial ten digits to complete a local call, or your call will not be completed. What is a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed. You will continue to dial 1 + area code + seven-digit telephone number for all long distance calls.
