Is area code 760 a free call from area area code 619?

Answer 1

Depends where in 760 and where in 619. Area code 760 stretches from northern San Diego County to Palm Springs, Death Valley, and the eastern Sierra Nevada, all the way up to Mono Lake. The traditional local calling area is to towns within a radius of approximately 12 miles, but your local telephone company or your calling plan may have a wider local calling area.

There are some calls from 619 to 760 that are local and some that are toll. Note that in California, unlike in some states, you must always dial 1 + area code + number for all calls to area code 760, whether the call is local or toll.

Note also that area code 442 is an overlay on area code 760, serving the same communities.
