Connect with customers in CA

A business number with a California area code will help you to connect with locals, thereby allowing you to make a name for yourself in the state and helping you expand your business. It makes you instantly recognizable to clients.

Keep your personal number private

When you use a dedicated phone number, you can keep your personal life separate from your professional one. This not only gives customers a better impression of your company, but also allows you to maintain your privacy.

Appear trustworthy and reliable

When you get a California phone number, your business instantly appears more trustworthy and professional to local customers, compared to if you used any old number. If they recognize your caller ID, they’ll be more inclined to pick up the phone when you give them a call.

What you may not know about CA phone numbers

California phone area code 213 was one of the first codes introduced by the North American Numbering Plan in 1947. There are still numbers with the 213 code you can call, but the original area was split five times over the decades. 415 and 916 were also among the first codes in the NANP.

Other phone numbers in California were added as the state population grew. The expansion of the phone system in the second half of the 20th century resulted in many other California area codes, and their overlay became commonplace.

Important points about California telephone numbers

CA area code and other parts of a phone number

When you call California numbers, be it a personal mobile number or a business line, depending on where you’re calling from, you will need to enter up to 11 digits. The first part is the 1-digit country code, the second part is a 3-digit area code, and the last part is a 7-digit unique phone number.
Any local phone number you call in the state will have a prefix from the table above. A number example would be +1-951-239-0523.

Is a California local number or a toll-free number better for my business?

Whether you choose a toll-free or a local number depends on what your aims are. If you’d like to encourage your customers to call you, then a toll-free number might be best; this means your company will cover the cost of all incoming calls, taking the pressure off your clients. Here at MightyCall, we offer both options, letting you choose the one that best suits your needs.

Will people be able to tell that I’m not in the state even if I have a California area code number?

No, people will not be able to tell that you’re not in CA if you use a California prefix. When you use one of these codes with our virtual phone numbers, it will seem to your customer as if the call is coming from a number in California.
