Area code 662
Area code 662 is the telephone area code serving the northern half of Mississippi, including the 6 counties (Benton, Coahoma, Desoto, Marshall, Tate and Tunica) that are part of the Memphis metro area. It also includes the cities which are home to the state's two largest universities, Oxford (University of Mississippi or "Ole Miss") and Starkville (Mississippi State University).
Area code 662, in the northern half of Mississippi.
It was created in 1999 in a split from area code 601. The split came in part because the Memphis LATA extends some distance into northern Mississippi, meaning a large block of numbers in Memphis' area code 901 are unavailable for use.

gollark: But the question just states it as fact and has "yes, torture fat person" and "no, no torturing fat person, you are awful and want the entire city to be explodinated".
gollark: I suppose you could argue that I don't believe it as a "matter of principle" thing, but from what I've heard torture is *not* actually a very effective way to get information.
gollark: For example, there's - on the "fat man" trolley problem question - a question about "do you believe torture is always wrong as a matter of principle" and then "bla bla bla nuclear device torture fat man or not".
gollark: I don't like this philosophyexperiments.com site, it seems to imply things.
gollark: I can make the antimemetics antimemetic such that nobody ever finds out.
