Prefix 303-260 — Denver, CO
303-260 identifies a block of numbers in Denver, CO, within the 303 area code. Every US prefix is tied to exactly one rate center; this one is Denver.
The rate center lies in the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. The serving LATA is 656. Local time follows the Mountain zone.
Treat the on-screen number as a hint, not evidence — 303-260 can be spoofed like any US prefix. If a call feels off, verify through an official callback number and file a complaint with the FCC or FTC.
NANPA's central-office code records list QWEST CORPORATION (OCN 9636) as the code holder. Because 303-260 participates in thousands-block pooling, individual 1,000-number blocks may belong to other carriers than the code holder.
