Je les fait tapiner dans tous les secteurs


Explanation:
"tapiner" implies the speaker is the pimp. "secteurs" connotes some kind of administrative divisions. The use of "codes postaux" (zip codes) in this context would not fit French usage.

Plusieurs régions...


Explanation:
À mes commentaires à la réponse d'UterDijon, j'aurais dû ajouter «régions» ou même «pays». Il faudrait savoir d'où origine le texte. Au Canada, «area code» (code régional) est constitué de 3 chiffres précédant le no de téléphone et identifiant un territoire. À l'exception de Toronto et du grand Montréal, une ville n'a qu'un code régional. Si le texte est canadien, avoir des putes dans plusieurs «area codes» signifie très probablement «dans plusieurs villes / régions».
Un contexte plus développé aurait aidé, comme toujours.

Canadien ou états-unien. «Area code» a le même aux USA qu\'au Canada.
