I got a text from a 480 number and it seemed a bit random. I’m trying to figure out if it’s even from my country. Where is this area code?
@ChloeParker – 480 is Arizona, US, primarily around Phoenix and the surrounding areas. Pretty common area code. That said, random texts from unknown numbers happen constantly, regardless of location. I’ve gotten similar messages before and usually they’re just spam or automated stuff. If you don’t recognize the sender, it’s worth being cautious about clicking links or responding, but the area code itself doesn’t really tell you much about legitimacy. Just standard phone safety applies – don’t engage if you’re unsure.
