Coverage
Where does the 709 area code apply?
The 709 area code covers the entire province of Newfoundland and Labrador, from St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula to Corner Brook, Gander, Labrador City and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. It was carved out of area code 506 in 1962, after 506 itself had split from the original 1947 code 902.
In 2024, overlay code 879 was added on the same territory to meet growing demand. A 709 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Newfoundland and Labrador customers, wherever your team works from.

709 or 879: which should you choose?
Both area codes cover the same province. 709 has been the historic code since 1962; 879 is the newer overlay added in 2024. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
