Area code 788 is an Easily recognizable code (ERC) registered under North American Numbering Plan (NANP) but has not been assigned to any geographical area or State in the US. It is not considered a valid area code because it has been officially designated an Easily recognizable code assigned for specific services such as Toll-free numbers.
The State of Nevada requested NANPA to assign them a new area code, lucky 777, but NANPA denied the request because 777 is an Easily Recognizable code; they were assigned with area code 775 instead. Therefore if you receive a call from this number, it is a spam call. Phone numbers with phone code 788-XXX-XXX do not exist.
