The 760 area code is outside of California, and most people who receive incoming calls with a strange-looking area code find that it leads to the state of California. This is probably due to two things. The first is that the Golden State has more area codes than any other state in the US, a total of 25 to be exact, with only Texas coming in second with 21 area codes. The second reason so many calls are accidentally dialed from California is because of the state’s huge population, which increases the chances of this happening.
This means that 9 times out of 10, if you get a strange call with a strange area code, it’s like it’s coming from California or Texas, but not always.
760 serves a large part of the state, along the eastern border for many miles, bordering Nevada.
It includes counties like Kern and San Diego and serves cities and towns like Corona, Ramona, Lone Pine, and Carlsbad.
A rough estimate of the population using 760 would be somewhere around the two million mark, or a little less.
If you’re getting strange calls from a number that starts with this code, or you have a hunch that it’s someone you might know and now you’re worried and feel like you need to reach them, but want to make sure… there’s something you can do.
One of the most popular choices many people make is to do a reverse number lookup. This is quick and easy and you can do it anonymously.
By reversing a cell phone or landline number, you have a good chance of getting a name and even an address so you can be sure who the person is.
