Waynesville sits inside the 828 area code, the same code carried by many people in nearby Asheville and other communities across the western part of the state.
The area runs on Eastern time, and the whole 828 region, Waynesville and Asheville included, shares that single overlay, so a number picked here matches the time and area of any western North Carolina contact.
Residents in this part of the state, like people elsewhere, describe unwanted robocalls and spoofed numbers as a regular nuisance, which is one reason many keep a separate number for anything posted publicly.
