Find any 949- phone number in California

The 949 area code is a telephone numbering plan code that covers parts of Orange County, California. This area code was created in 1998 when it was split off from the 714 area code, which had served a much larger geographical area in Orange County. It is one of the original 86 area codes designated in 1947 under the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).

The NANP is a system of telephone numbering for countries in the North American region, including the US, Canada, and several Caribbean nations. This system organizes telephone numbers into patterns and allows for both local and long-distance calls to be place using three-digit area codes. The NANP uses individual telephone exchanges, which are grouped into area codes, which are in turn divided into local calling areas. This system makes it easier for people to identify the location of callers and to make local calls without having to type in a seven-digit number. The 949 area code is just one of the many area codes assigned under the NANP to provide easier access to telecommunication services.
