Area code 714 is a geographic code serving Anaheim, California in the Pacific time zone. It has been in service since January 1, 1951. Together with 657 it forms the 657/714 overlay. Because of number portability and VoIP, the area code tells you where the number was issued, not where the caller is right now.
NANPA lists 786 active NXX prefixes in 714, assigned to 29 carriers. 419 of those prefixes are pooled — shared between carriers in thousands-number blocks. The code spans 15 rate centers (billing localities).
Its parent code is 213, which it left in 1951. Later relief produced 619 (1982), 909 (1992), 949 (1998), 657 (2008) from its territory.
Official projections put exhaust for the 657/714 complex at 2Q 2028 — relief planning typically starts years ahead. Relief planning (a future overlay or boundary change) is in progress.
The dialing plan is 1+10D for home-NPA local calls and 1+10D across codes.
Among California codes, 714 stands out as projected by NANPA to exhaust its numbering capacity by 2Q 2028.
If a 714 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.

FAQ
Why do 657 and 714 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 657/714 complex shares one service area, and local calls are dialed with 10 digits.
Will 714 run out of numbers?
NANPA's current forecast projects exhaust in 2Q 2028, so a new overlay is likely to be planned.
Why am I getting spam calls from 714 numbers?
Scammers spoof recognizable area codes so calls look local or familiar. A displayed 714 number does not prove the call originated there — see our guide to spotting spoofed calls.
Where is a 714 number from?
714 is assigned to Anaheim 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.
