A prefix is the three digits after the area code, and NANPA assigns each one to a town. Counting the 748 prefixes in use shows where 602 numbers are actually given out.

Qwest (Lumen) holds the most phone number prefixes in area code 602: 265 of 748.
NANPA, which runs the North American numbering plan, assigns each prefix (the three digits after the area code) to one carrier. Here is how the 748 prefixes in use in 602 divide between carriers; holders this page does not name are grouped as other carriers.
| Carrier | Prefixes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Qwest (Lumen)Lumen's landline company | 265 | 35% |
| T-MobileMobile network | 98 | 13% |
| AT&T MobilityMobile network | 48 | 6% |
| Teleport (AT&T)AT&T's business phone network | 25 | 3% |
| SpokPaging network | 21 | 3% |
| Comcast (Xfinity)Cable company's phone service | 20 | 3% |
| 25 other carriers | 271 | 36% |
55% of these prefixes are pooled, which means the blocks of 1,000 numbers inside them can belong to other carriers. Any number can also have been moved to another carrier since, so this shows who holds the prefixes, not who serves a given number.

A 602 number on your screen can still be a scam, because caller ID is easy to fake.
- Let an unknown call go to voicemail. A real caller leaves a message; a robocaller usually does not.
- Look the number up with the box above before you call back, because calling back tells a robocaller your line is live.
- Hang up on anyone who wants gift cards, crypto or a wire transfer, or asks you to read out a code that was just texted to you.
- Report unwanted robocalls at reportfraud.ftc.gov, or paste a suspicious message into our free scam checker.
