Coverage

Where does the 604 area code apply?

The 604 area code serves the Lower Mainland of British Columbia — Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Sea-to-Sky corridor. It is one of the original 1947 North American Numbering Plan area codes and, until 1996, covered the entire province.

As British Columbia grew, overlay codes 778, 236 and later 672 were added on top of the same territory to meet demand. A 604 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Vancouver customers, wherever your team works from.
