Coverage
Where does the 819 area code apply?
The 819 area code was created in 1957, split from parts of 514 and 418 to serve a wide stretch of central and western Quebec. Today it anchors the Outaouais region around Gatineau and the Estrie region around Sherbrooke, along with many communities beyond.
Overlay codes 873 and later 468 were added to the same territory as demand for numbers grew. An 819 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Gatineau or Estrie customers, wherever your team works from.

819 or 873: which should you choose?
Both area codes cover the same region, alongside the newer 468 overlay. 819 is the historic code, in service since 1957; 873 was added in 2012 to meet growing demand. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
