Phone numbers beginning 360 are registered to the Vancouver area of Washington (Pacific time zone). The code entered service on January 15, 1995. It is part of the 360/564 overlay complex — these codes share the same territory. Note that porting and VoIP mean a 360 number can be used from anywhere — the code marks where the number was assigned.
786 central-office prefixes are currently active in this code, spread across 47 code-holding carriers. Thousands-block pooling applies to 553 prefixes, so a single prefix can belong to several carriers. Its prefixes map to 75 distinct rate centers.

FAQ
Is 360 a toll-free number?
No. 360 is a geographic code; calls are billed like any other domestic call. Toll-free codes are 800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888.
Why do 564 and 360 cover the same place?
They are overlays: when a code runs low on numbers, a new code is added over the same territory instead of splitting it. The 360/564 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 360 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 4Q 2057 — decades of capacity remain.
Why am I getting spam calls from 360 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 360 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
