Since 1997, the Mississippi Gulf Coast has had an area code of its own.
228 reaches the port and beaches of Gulfport, the casinos and seafood restaurants of Biloxi and the shipbuilding town of Pascagoula. People on the Coast look out for each other, and they tend to answer calls from numbers that feel like home. A 228 caller ID tells them you are part of the same stretch of shoreline.
A 228 number covers the Gulf Coast communities with no overlay, which keeps it a clear local signal.
Inland Mississippi is served by codes such as 601 and 769, and 251 covers Mobile across the Alabama line, so 228 points squarely at the Coast. With a virtual Allo number, you can serve customers from Bay St. Louis to Ocean Springs without renting space on Highway 90. Your team can answer from wherever they work.
When visitors fill the Coast, Allo makes sure every call to your 228 number is handled.
