Area Code 782

Area Code 782 History:

11/30/2014

Area code 782 was officially put into service as an overlay of area code 902.

Effective November 16, 2014 ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) became mandatory in the 902/782 overlay because different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.

Major cities or places in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia within area code 782 include:

The entire provinces of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, including the larger communities of Charlottetown, Montague and Summerside in Prince Edward Island, and the larger communities of Amherst, Antigonish, Barrington, Bridgewater, Dartmouth, Halifax, Kentville, New Glasgow, Sydney in Nova Scotia.
