How Phoenix came to have 3 area codes
The original Phoenix area code is 602, in service since 1947. As the area ran low on available numbers, overlay codes were added over the same region for new phone lines: 480 (1999) and 623 (1999). Existing numbers kept their original code — an overlay never forces anyone to change their number — which is why Phoenix now uses all 3 codes and every local call is dialed with ten digits.
