The 820 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of California. Today, 820 is exclusively tied to California, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
San Luis Obispo – a charming coastal town
Paso Robles – famous for its wineries and vineyards
Atascadero – known for its beautiful parks and community
For generations, 820 has represented California pride, offering the best of state life with fast access to all regions.
The 820 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 820 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.
The 820 area code covers all of California, including:
San Luis Obispo
Paso Robles
Atascadero
and many more.
Getting a 820 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.
