Got a missed call from 805?

Our directory lists 805 for Camarillo, California, but an area code alone cannot establish who is calling. Scammers can fake caller ID to match the first six digits of the number they are dialing, a trick called neighbor spoofing, so a familiar-looking code proves nothing about who is really calling.

If you were not expecting the call, let it go to voicemail. Verify the caller through a trusted contact method before returning the call, and never share personal details with an unverified caller.

Worth knowing: an area code no longer tells you where someone is. Mobile numbers keep their original code when people move, so a 805 number may belong to someone who left California years ago.

Frequently asked questions about 805

Where is area code 805?

Our directory lists area code 805 for Camarillo, California. The listed city is a reference location, not a complete coverage map. A phone number's area code does not establish the caller's current location.

This directory uses Pacific Time (PT) for California. This is state-level guidance; confirm the recipient's local time before calling.

Is area code 805 a scam?

An area code alone cannot tell you whether a call is genuine. Caller ID can be spoofed, including numbers that appear local. Let unexpected calls go to voicemail and verify the caller independently before sharing personal information.

History of Area Code 805

California established area code 805 in 1957 by splitting it from area code 213. The 805 region originally covered a larger area than it does today. In 1999, a split created area code 661 from part of 805, moving inland communities such as Bakersfield and Santa Clarita to the new code.

California introduced area code 820 as an overlay for the 805 region in 2018. An overlay adds another area code to the same geographic area instead of dividing that area into separate zones. Existing 805 numbers could remain in use, while new numbers could receive either code. Ten-digit dialing applies to local calls in the overlay region.
