The 619-201 prefix belongs to area code 619 and is anchored to the El Cajon rate center (CA). In NANP terms, the prefix — or NXX — determines the rate center a number is billed against.

NANPA's central-office code records list METROPCS, INC. (OCN 5562) as the code holder, assigned January 19, 2007. Because 619-201 participates in thousands-block pooling, individual 1,000-number blocks may belong to other carriers than the code holder.
Caller ID showing 619-201 is not proof the call came from El Cajon: spoofing and porting both detach numbers from their origin. To verify a caller, hang up and dial the organization's published number, and report suspicious calls to the FTC.
