there was a day when all of arizona was the 602... whole damn state. then they decided that 602 would stick to phoenix and everyone else would get 520. that worked for a while, but the souther cities started growing even more and they decided to split the state again, phx stuck with the 602, southern az got the 520, and nortrher arizona became 928. around that time they decided that the metro was getting too big, so they split it into three area codes... 480 for the east valley, 602 for most of phoenix proper, and 623 for the west valley... and that's where we're at at this point. i live in the 480... but my cellphone has a 602 number...
it was a hassle for a little while, getting used to all of the changes, but it's another part of arizona life now.
