The North American Numbering Plan Administrator has not assigned Area Code 798 for use. The code 798 is officially planned as a general-purpose area code that is typically assigned to a geographic area, but it is also designated as an expansion code that is reserved for future use if the current ten-digit format needs to be expanded.
It is a spam call if you receive a phone call from area code 798. There is no such phone number as 798-xxx-xxx.
