Some background on Nova Scotia and its area codes

Nova Scotia, a Canadian province located in the Maritime region, primarily uses two area codes: 902 and 782. Area code 902, one of the original North American area codes established in 1947, originally served all three Maritime provinces until they were split in the 1950s and 1960s. Nova Scotia shared the 902 area code with Prince Edward Island until the introduction of area code 782.

Area code 782 was introduced in 2014 as an overlay to the existing 902 area code to address the exhaustion of available phone numbers due to increased demand and the proliferation of mobile devices. The overlay of 782 across Nova Scotia allows for a continuous and increased allocation of numbers without geographic restrictions within the province.

The administration of area codes in Nova Scotia, like in other parts of Canada, is managed by the Canadian Numbering Administrator. It ensures that the resource is used efficiently and is sufficient to meet the long-term needs of the region. The implementation of 10-digit dialing, made mandatory in 2015, further supports the seamless use and integration of both 902 and 782 area codes.
