In this case, the 760 code has been Overlayed with the 442 area code. New phone numbers in the Desert Shores area will be assigned with one of these codes: 760 or 442. As a result, placing a call in the Desert Shores area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
