The 909 area code now covers far eastern Los Angeles County and southwestern San Bernardino County. It contains cities such as: Colton, San Bernardino, Ontario, Fontana, Chino, and Pomona.
The cost of living in "the 909" is generally less expensive than many parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties. Thus, many people live in "the 909" and commute westward to Orange and Los Angeles counties. Under the traditional NANPA plan, 909 would be considered the "worst" area coded for pulse dialers, because of the length of time to send the pulse signal, in contrast to area codes such as 212 or 213.
