# Desert Dial

> Desert Dial is an independent site about phone calls in Las Vegas and Nevada. Its small tool reads the area code of a US or Canadian number (region, time zone, warning signs) and never identifies an owner, carrier or line type. Guides cover 702, 725 and 775 calls, timeshare and resort marketing, calling hours and opt-outs. It is not affiliated with any carrier, casino or agency.

Editorial site about identifying unknown phone callers and understanding US/NANP area codes. It does not sell personal data and does not claim to identify the owner of a number. Written by Dana Whitlock. Contact: hello@cellphonevegasinfo.com.
