Coverage

Where does the 480 area code apply?

The 480 area code was created in 1999 when the original statewide 602 area code was split to keep pace with growth in the Phoenix area. It serves the East Valley — Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Gilbert and Sun Lakes — along with neighbouring parts of Phoenix, across Maricopa and Pinal counties.

602 and 623 cover the rest of the Valley, and a 2023 boundary-elimination overlay merged all three codes into a single numbering complex across the Phoenix metro. A 480 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony keeps that East Valley identity, wherever your team works from.

480, 602 or 623: which should you choose?

480 was created in 1999 to serve the East Valley when the original 602 area code was split. Since the 2023 boundary-elimination overlay, 480, 602 and 623 share the same footprint across greater Phoenix, so the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
