Why Choose a 818 Area Code?
The 818 area code covers parts of Los Angeles County. It includes the San Fernando Valley, Burbank, Glendale, and nearby communities.
It is one of the well-known California area codes. People often associate the code with media, entertainment, and business districts in Los Angeles.
The 818 numbering plan area (NPA) was originally created when it split from area code 213 on January 7, 1984. The reason was to support the growing demand for phone numbers in the Los Angeles region.
As the population and use of mobile devices increased, telecom authorities later introduced area code 747 as an overlay. This way businesses and residents could obtain new numbers in the same geographic region.
All of these codes operate under the North American Numbering Plan. This system organizes telephone numbering across the United States and Canada. In California, the California Public Utilities Commission regulates numbering resources.
