Area code decals on cars?

Question

I live in Phoenix, AZ and in the past 6 mos I've seen a number of cars with the central Phoenix area code in big numbers on the back window of cars. It's "602" and sometimes that's combined with a sihouette of a phoenix rising. Just today I saw a decal of "623." That's the area code for the west Phoenix area and western suburbs. Is this popular in other areas too outside of Phoenix? We have 3 Phoenix metro area codes, but I haven't seen a "480" decal yet (that's the eastern Phoenix metro area code). I'm just curious if this is a trend other places too.

Answer 1

Yeah, theres a few smackers here in NJ that do that with the "201" area code

Answer 2

My area code is 909 and yea, I see a lot of guys with 4 cylinder Tacomas with 12" lifts with the decal on their windows.

Answer 3

It is.
