Area code 702

Area code 702 serves Nevada, including Las Vegas, Laughlin and Mount Charleston (Pacific time). It has been in service since January 1, 1947 and shares its area with 725.

Numbers starting with 702 drew 2,950 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 1,054 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 702 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 702 exchanges
