Coverage
Where does the 506 area code apply?
The 506 area code serves the entire province of New Brunswick. It split from the original 902 area code in 1955 and became New Brunswick's sole area code in 1962, once Newfoundland and Labrador received its own code, 709.
Overlay code 428 was added to the same territory in 2023 to meet demand. A 506 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your New Brunswick customers, wherever your team works from.

506 or 428: which should you choose?
Both area codes cover the same territory: all of New Brunswick. 506 is the historic code, in use since 1955; 428 is the newer overlay added in 2023. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
