About the 442 area code
California placed area code 442 over a territory that runs through Escondido, Victorville, Vista, and Oceanside. Every 442 number sits in the Pacific zone.
The code started service in 2009 as an overlay of area code 760, and 760 continues to cover the identical ground beside it. With two codes on one footprint, dialing locally there always takes the full ten digits.
Dialing note: 442 is part of an overlay complex with 760, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
