Area code 562 covers much of southeastern Los Angeles County and portions of northern Orange County in California.
Area code 562 was originally meant to be an overlay code for the 310 area code in late 1995, exclusively for cellular telephones and pagers. However, the overlay plan was cancelled. Prior to October 2021, area code 562 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988 and therefore transitioned to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
Southeastern Los Angeles County's 562 area code takes in Long Beach, Norwalk, and Downey - anchored by one of the world's busiest ports. Port of Long Beach freight coordinators, VA hospital appointment lines, and aerospace manufacturing recruiters are common callers.
