The "Area code 714" and "Area code 657" pages need to be merged into a single "Area code 714/657" page, based on the "Area Code 714" page. I don't know how to do this, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.33.226 (talk) 16:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"northern" Orange County

Santa Ana is hardly "northern" Orange County. Perhaps "central and northern" might better describe 714's reach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.182.43 (talk) 18:20, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The two area codes now cover northern and western Orange County (except for portions of La Habra, all of Los Alamitos and Seal Beach,

The article is in error. I used to work for a company in Los Alamitos that had a 714 phone number. When I started working there, I had to remind the information operator that Los Alamitos had two area codes when I called for the number. Cousert (talk)

The following is proof that some phone numbers in Los Alamitos have a 714 area code - http://www.computer.org/portal/web/guest/contact 74.100.47.237 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:22, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before the series of area code splits, 714 Area code did include portions of Los Angeles County

Growing up in the 60's and 70's I lived in Pomona California and the 714 area code included Claremont, La Verne, Pomona and San Dimas, all are in Los Angeles county. At that time, this was confusing for some people in Los Angeles back then because several people wrongly assumed all of Los Angeles county back then was in the 213 area code. Even some people in the Los Angeles county government didn't think we were in Los Angeles county. Even when the 714 area code was split we changed to 909, which was mostly in what is often referred to as "The Inland Empire" and even this has caused confusion because these cities being in Los Angeles county are not part of The Inland Empire, which is only San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Also, I've been told, although I have not been able to verify this, that before the area code splits that have been occurring since the 70's, the 714 area code was the largest "non-statewide" area code. If this could be verified, someone might want to include this information in main article. Ceo255 (talk) 19:25, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Costa Mesa not “unique” in split

“Today, five cities ‘straddle’ the 657/714 and 949 area codes: Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Ana, Tustin, and Newport Beach.”

Then the passage a few paragraphs earlier about Costa Mesa being “unique” in this regard isn’t correct, is it? Suggest removing that parenthetical remark. Doug Ewell (talk) 22:56, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
