The 442 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 442 that once covered all of California. Today, 442 is exclusively tied to California, located in regions like:
San Diego – the bustling heart of the city
El Centro – the vibrant, diverse locale
Brawley – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 442 has represented California pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all surrounding areas.
The 442 area code operates in the Pacific Time Zone (PT) – the same time zone as California. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 442 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.
The 442 area code covers all of California, including:
San Diego
El Centro
Brawley
and many more.
Getting a 442 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of California’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
