Where Arizona area codes came from
Arizona relied on 602 by itself for 48 years, until 520 arrived in 1995.
- 1947: among the original area codes of 1947 was 602, for Phoenix.
- 1995: 520 separated from 602 to serve Ajo, Benson and Bisbee.
- 1999: 602 gained an overlay, 480, across the same area.
- 1999: 602 gained an overlay, 623, across the same area.
- 2001: a new code, 928, was carved out of 520 for Aguila, Alpine and Arizona Village.
Dialling within Arizona
