Arizona, the Grand Canyon State, blends dramatic desert landscapes with vibrant urban centers like Phoenix and Tucson. Known for its scenic beauty, Native American heritage, and booming tech industries, Arizona is also a sun-seeker’s paradise with over 300 days of sunshine annually. From the red rocks of Sedona to the historic Route 66, Arizona’s allure is unmatched.

The state’s area codes in Arizona began with 602, created in 1947 for the metro Phoenix region. As the population surged, 520 was introduced in 1995 for southern Arizona, followed by 480 and 623 in 1999 to separate suburbs and the valley’s west and east sides. New overlays like 928, serving northern Arizona, and 928’s counterparts support rapid regional growth—all part of a well-organized system that meets the modern telecommunications needs of Arizona’s expanding communities.
