The 678 area code covers Atlanta and the surrounding metro, including Athens-Clarke County, South Fulton, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Mableton, and Alpharetta. It's one of the main codes tied to Georgia's largest metro area.
678 is an overlay code, meaning it shares the same geographic footprint as 404 and 470, and it also sits alongside 770 across the broader region. All four codes work side by side, so a 678 number dials and receives calls just like any other local number in the area.
The region runs on Eastern Time. Calling contacts across Atlanta and the surrounding cities means no time zone math, whether you're reaching someone in Roswell in the morning or Athens-Clarke County in the evening.
