How to call Phoenix from abroad

Dial your country's international exit code, then 1 (the US country code), then the Phoenix area code that matches the number (one of those listed above), then the 7-digit local number. From Phonecall in your browser, enter +1, the area code and the number, and the exit code is added for you. Every Phoenix number uses 10-digit dialing.

Why Phoenix has multiple area codes

As the metro grew and numbers ran short, new codes were added both as overlays (a new code layered over the same zone) and through geographic splits (a separate code for part of the metro). The code at the start of a number no longer reliably pinpoints a neighborhood, and callers always dial all 10 digits.
