Reverse Phone Lookup by New Mexico Area Code

All New Mexico phone numbers consist of three parts: the three-digit Area Code, the three-digit Prefix Code (also known as the exchange or central office code), and the final four-digit line number. While the area code narrows down the location to a large region, the prefix code can often specify the original city or town where the number was registered.

Here's a complete list of New Mexico area codes:

Area Code 505: Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe

Location: The 505 area code covers northern and central New Mexico, including major cities like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Farmington.

Common Callers: Sandia/Los Alamos National Labs background checkers, UNM Hospital appointments, and state government officials.

Scams and Spam Calls: The 505 area code is targeted by the "Comenity Bank" Impersonation scam and Remote Access Tech Support fraud. Fake Process Server & Pending Complaint scams are reported, along with the "Cash Offer For Your Home" call and Aggressive Information Phishing.

Location: The 575 area code covers southern and eastern New Mexico, including major cities like Las Cruces, Roswell, and Clovis.
