910 area code location: Fayetteville and Wilmington, North Carolina

Area code 910 covers southeastern North Carolina, from Fayetteville inland to the coast at Wilmington. It has been in service since 14 November 1993, and since October 2022 it has shared its territory with the 472 overlay, so new numbers in the region may carry either code.

Where 910 reaches

910 numbers are issued across 85 communities in southeastern North Carolina, from Fayetteville inland to Wilmington on the coast.

These are telephone exchange areas, which follow the phone network rather than city limits — so the list includes a few crossroads and neighborhoods alongside the towns, and a place can sit just outside the boundary of the town it is named for. The North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) publishes them alphabetically, with no measure of size.

The 472 overlay

An overlay adds a second area code across the same territory instead of splitting it. 472 entered service on 7 October 2022 as an overlay of 910, so:

• Existing 910 numbers did not change.
• New numbers may be issued in either code, depending on what a carrier has available.
• Ten-digit dialing applies across the region, because two codes now share it.

No further area code is planned for the 910 region as of 22 September 2026.

History

Each date is the day the code started service, as recorded by NANPA.

• 14 November 1993 — 910 enters service. It was split from 919, which until then covered most of eastern North Carolina.
• 15 December 1997 — 336 splits away. The Piedmont Triad, including Greensboro and Winston-Salem, left 910 for the new 336. What remained is roughly the territory 910 holds today.
• 7 October 2022 — 472 overlays 910. Not a split: 472 covers the same ground, and 910 numbers were untouched.

Questions about 910

Is a new area code coming to the 910 region?

Not currently. No new code is planned for the region as of 22 September 2026. The 472 overlay added room for new numbers in 2022.

Will I get a 910 number or a 472 number?

Either. The two codes share one territory, and which one a new line receives depends on which numbers a carrier has left. Both reach the same places and dial identically.

Does a 910 number prove a caller is in North Carolina?

No. Numbers stay with their owner when people move, and caller ID can be spoofed. An area code indicates where a number was issued, not where the person holding it is now. If an unfamiliar caller asks for passwords, payment, or verification codes, verify them independently.

Is the Maysville in 910 the same as Maysville, Kentucky?

No. Telephone exchanges are named after a nearby place, and those names repeat from state to state. The Maysville and Long Beach in the 910 list are both in North Carolina.

Business phone numbers with Goodcall

Goodcall offers business phone numbers in area code 910 and an AI agent that answers them: an AI answering service and receptionist for Fayetteville, Wilmington, and the rest of southeastern North Carolina.

One 910 number covers the whole of the code’s territory, from Fayetteville inland to Wilmington on the coast, across 85 communities. A business serving the Cape Fear region, the Sandhills, and the coast can use a single local number rather than one per town.

Goodcall provides a business phone number with an AI agent that answers calls. Depending on how it is configured, the agent can take caller details, answer questions you give it, route calls, and — with a supported calendar integration — book appointments. Whether a 910 number specifically is available depends on what carriers have left; a 472 number reaches the same places.
