Until 2023, area code 602 meant most of the City of Phoenix, part of Glendale, and the communities of Cave Creek and Ahwatukee.

Today it shares one larger area with its two neighbors. 480 brought Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert. 623 brought Glendale, Avondale, Tolleson, Buckeye and Sun City. A 602 number can now be issued anywhere in that combined area.
