The U.S. state of Arizona is served by five telephone area codes in three numbering plan areas:
602 was the original area code for Arizona, and was split in 1995 into 602, serving metropolitan Phoenix, and 520, serving the remainder of the state. [1] In 1999, 602 was split into 480, 602, and 623, [2] which were recombined in 2023. [3] 520 was split in 2001 to form area code 928. [4]

Area codes 213 and 323 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the U.S. state of California.

Area code 213 was one of the original North American area codes of 1947 and 323 was created in an area code split of 213 in 1998.

In telecommunications, an area code overlay complex is a telephone numbering plan that assigns multiple area codes to a geographic numbering plan area (NPA). Area code overlays are implemented in territories of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) to mitigate exhaustion of central office codes in growth areas. The method has been in use since 1992, and has been the preferred and exclusive method of relief since 2007.
