Some background on British Columbia and its area codes

British Columbia, a western Canadian province, was initially served by area code 604, established in 1947 as one of the original North American area codes. Due to population growth and increased demand for telephone services, area code 250 was introduced in 1997 to cover regions outside Greater Vancouver.

The introduction of area code 778 in 2001 and 236 in 2013 provided overlay coverage across the province, including Greater Vancouver, to accommodate further demand. These overlays ensure that all British Columbia regions can expand telecommunication services without requiring area code splits, which would necessitate number changes for existing users.

In 2019, area code 672 was added as another overlay to meet the continuing demand for new numbers. These area codes are integral to the province's telecommunications infrastructure, supporting diverse needs from urban centers like Vancouver to remote communities, highlighting British Columbia's dynamic and growing population.
