South Carolina, the Palmetto State, is known for its Southern hospitality, historic plantations, and coastal getaways like Myrtle Beach and Charleston. With a growing economy based on tourism, manufacturing, and port activity, the state balances heritage and innovation.

The state’s original area code 803 now serves the central region, including Columbia, with the overlay 839. Other codes include 843 for the coastal area (with overlay 854) and 864 for the upstate region, covering Greenville and Spartanburg. These South Carolina area codes ensure robust coverage for both booming urban areas and tranquil coastal retreats.
