Coverage
Where does the 902 area code apply?
The 902 area code covers all of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, from Halifax and Charlottetown to Sydney, Truro, New Glasgow and Summerside. It is one of the 9 original Canadian area codes from the 1947 North American Numbering Plan, when it also served New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador — both split off with their own codes in 1955 and 1962, leaving 902 to Nova Scotia and PEI alone.
In 2014, the distributed overlay code 782 was added across the same territory as demand for numbers grew, with mandatory ten-digit local dialing starting that November. A 902 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony keeps a recognizable Maritime identity for your customers, wherever your team answers from.

Local dialing
- Always dial ten digits: the area code followed by the seven-digit local number.

Same territory
902 or 782: which should you choose?
Both area codes cover the same two provinces. 902 is the original 1947 code; 782 was added as an overlay in 2014 once local demand for numbers grew. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated. The CRTC has also opened planning for a further overlay, 851, to relieve 902 and 782 once current numbers are projected to run out around 2028 — it is not yet in service and has no bearing on availability today.
