The 760 area code is outside of California, and most people who receive incoming calls with a strange-looking area code find that it leads back to the state of California. This is probably due to two things. The first is that The Golden State has more area codes than any other state in the US, a total of 25 to be exact, with only Texas ranking second with 21 area codes. The second reason many calls are accidentally dialed from California is due to the huge population of the state, which increases the chances of this happening.

This means that 9 times out of 10, if you get a strange call with a strange area code, it is most likely from California or Texas, but not always.

760 serves a large part of the state, which runs along the eastern border for many miles, bordering Nevada.

It includes counties such as Kern and San Diego and serves cities and towns such as Corona, Ramona, Lone Pine, and Carlsbad.

A rough estimate of the population using 760 would be somewhere around the two million mark, or a little less than.

If you get strange calls from a number that starts with this code, or you have a hunch that it is someone you might know and now you are concerned and feel like you need to contact them, but want to make sure … there is something you can do.

One of the most popular choices many people do is do a reverse lookup on the number. This is quick and easy and you can do it anonymously.

By reversing a cell or landline number, you will have a good chance of getting a name and even an address so you can be sure who the person is.
