Area Code 702 History:

Area code 702 was officially put into service. In 1998 area code 702 was split to form area code 775.

Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in the 702/725 overlay because different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.
