A specific numerical designation is utilized for telecommunication within a particular geographic area of coastal Southern California. This numerical sequence facilitates the routing of telephone calls to and from that region. For example, dialing a number within that area requires the inclusion of this code before the local number itself.
This system ensures efficient connection of calls and data transmission. Historically, these codes were implemented to manage the increasing demand for telephone services as populations grew and communication needs expanded. They allow telecommunication companies to effectively organize and direct calls to specific service areas, preventing overlap and confusion within the network.
