There are two possibilities:

  • Your phone is trying to display an international number. For example, something showing what looks like area code 593 (no such code) might actually be telephone country code +593 (Ecuador).
  • The person calling you is "spoofing" their Caller ID. Unfortunately, it is very easy for anyone with a PBX (business phone system) to send whatever number they please instead of valid Caller ID data.

When calling a different state do you dial your area code or the other states?

The point of a phone number is that it uniquely identifies the phone you wish to call. When you dial an area code, you are asking the system to connect you to that area code. So, you would dial the area code of the location you are calling TO.
