Tempe sits in Maricopa County and mainly uses the 480 area code, shared with Mesa and other East Valley communities. Nearby Phoenix uses 602, Glendale uses 623, and 520 covers Tucson to the south. Picking 480 keeps your number recognizable to anyone local to Tempe or the East Valley.
Tempe runs on Arizona time, which does not observe daylight saving, so your calling hours stay consistent year-round relative to most of the rest of the country. That makes scheduling calls with people in other states simpler once you know the offset.
Tempe is home to Arizona State University's main campus, which shapes a lot of the city's population and rental, sales, and service activity. A local number fits naturally into a city with a large student and young professional base moving in and out each year.
