When 415 was split in 1959, 408 was carved out to cover the South Bay and Central Coast. The 1998 split into 831 (Monterey/Santa Cruz) reduced 408 to just Silicon Valley. Through the 1980s and '90s, the code became globally recognized as Silicon Valley's identity — Apple, Cisco, Intel, eBay, Adobe, and most of the Valley's foundational companies hold 408 numbers. Overlay 669 was added in 2012 when 408 numbers ran low. Despite the overlay, 408 remains the gold standard for Silicon Valley tech companies.

ANSWER RATES, EXPLAINED

Why aren't 408 numbers enough on their own?

Spam filters don't distinguish between scam calls and unknown legitimate ones. Silicon Valley customers pick up a verified 408 line 3.6x more often than an unverified one because the caller ID looks like a real business, not a number nobody recognizes.
