Find any 209- phone number in California

The 209 area code is the area code for the Central California area, which includes the cities of Modesto, Stockton, Merced, and Turlock. It covers a large stretch of Central California, including most of the Sierra Nevada foothills from around Yosemite National Park to the Stockton area.

The area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). This numbering system was developed in 1947 and has since been used for telephone communication within the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. Each local telephone number in the area code requires three digits, followed by a single digit, for a total of ten digits. When dialing locally, you will need to dial the entire ten digit number. However, if you are dialing a number in this area code from a different area code, you will only need to dial 1+209+XXXXXXXX.
