The Chico/ Redding Service Area is part of the 530 Area Code. If the community and number (Prefix) you want to call is not listed in the Service Area section of this guide, that community may be outside of your Service Area. Check with your “0” Operator for specific community Service Area. Area Codes identify geographic calling areas. To find the Area Codes, see the Long Distance Area Codes.

To use a long distance company instead of your presubscribed carrier for your Service Area toll calls, you will need to dial that company’s access code before you dial each outgoing toll call (i.e. 101 + access code + telephone number).
