The 738 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 738 that once covered all of California. Today, 738 is exclusively tied to California, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Los Angeles – the bustling heart of the state
San Francisco – the vibrant, diverse metropolis
San Diego – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 738 has represented California pride, offering the best of state life with fast access to all areas.
The 738 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 738 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.
The 738 area code covers all of California, including:
Los Angeles
San Francisco
San Diego
and many more.
Getting a 738 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.
