What is 442

Area code 442 is an overlay covering the high desert of San Bernardino County and the Coachella Valley, sharing geography with the original 760 area code across Victorville, Apple Valley, Hesperia, Barstow, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indio, and the Coachella music festival corridor. The Victor Valley is a significant logistics and distribution hub due to its position on the I-15 corridor between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The Coachella Valley's resort economy generates billions annually through golf, spas, and events including Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and Stagecoach. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at 29 Palms is one of the largest US military bases by land area and a key training installation.

WHY 442 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 442 number?

01

02

29 Palms MCAGCC — the largest US military base by land area

Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at 29 Palms is the US military's primary combined-arms desert training installation. Defence contractors and military support services companies need a local desert communities number to engage MCAGCC's significant training and procurement operations.

03

Victor Valley logistics corridor — I-15 between LA and Las Vegas

The Victor Valley (Victorville, Apple Valley, Hesperia) is a major logistics and distribution hub on the I-15 corridor. Amazon, FedEx, and major retailers have chosen the high desert for distribution operations. Logistics technology and industrial real estate companies benefit from a 442 presence here.

04

Palm Springs resort and retirement economy
