I think you got it backwards, 706 & 912, I think. 404 was added for the perimeter only in it's inception, i think?

Nope... 404 was 1st then 706 was added for OTP minus Cobb, Douglas & a few other counties, then 770 was added when all OTP were knocked off 404...

404 was one of the original area codes established in 1947, and originally covered the entire state of Georgia. On July 1, 1954, area code 912 was assigned to southern and central Georgia. Area code 404 was retained for the northern half of the state, from the Tennessee and North Carolina borders as far south as Columbus and Augusta.

On May 3, 1992, area code 706 was created for most of the state north and east of metro Atlanta.
