Sevierville is part of the same stretch of East Tennessee

Jefferson City phone numbers come in two area codes: 423, which is also carried by many people in Chattanooga, and 865, the code shared by a lot of Knoxville numbers. Neighboring Morristown and Sevierville sit in the same general area, so either code fits comfortably in this pocket of East Tennessee.
The whole region runs on Eastern Time, and both 423 and 865 overlay the same stretch of East Tennessee rather than marking a hard line between towns. That means picking one code over the other is really about which cities and contacts you want your number to feel closest to.
Like phone users across the country, people in this part of Tennessee deal with a steady stream of unwanted robocalls and telemarketing calls to their main line. Keeping a second Ghost number for selling online, dating apps, or new contacts is a simple way to keep that noise off your personal number.
