History of 442 area code
Located in the south-eastern California, area code 442 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan that resulted from the split of area code 619 on March 22, 1997. It serves Oceanside, Escondido, Victorville, Carlsbad, and Vista. This area code is an overlay of area code 760 since November 21, 2009.
In 1997, area code 619 was split creating area code 760. Over the years, the proliferation of cell phones and pagers left area code 760 strained which necessitated a new area code for the area. Dividing area codes was the best idea at that time but they couldn’t go ahead with it since most businesses were not keen to change their numbers twice in a decade. Thus, it was decided that 442 would be introduced as an overlay to 760.
