The 619 area code covers San Diego:san Diego Da, California, Pacific time zone, and dates back to January 1, 1982. The same territory is also served by its overlay code (619/858 complex). Keep in mind the code identifies where the number was registered; the person calling may be elsewhere.
The code currently holds 785 working prefixes, held by 36 different carriers. Of these, 521 are pooled prefixes shared by multiple carriers. Numbers are anchored to 17 rate centers — billing localities that fix where each prefix belongs.
The current NANPA exhaust forecast for the 619/858 complex is 3Q 2039.
Local calls inside 619 are dialed 1+10D.
If a 619 call asks for money or personal data, treat the displayed number as unverified: hang up and reach the organization through its published number. Numbering data locates numbers, not callers.
The code was carved out of 714 (1982). As demand grew it in turn gave rise to 760 (1997), 858 (1999).

FAQ
Why do 858 and 619 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 619/858 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 619 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 3Q 2039 — decades of capacity remain.
Why am I getting spam calls from 619 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 619 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
Where is a 619 number from?
619 is assigned to San Diego:san Diego Da and surrounding areas of California in the Pacific time zone. The three digits after the area code (the prefix) narrow it down to a rate center.
