"body1": "The 418 area code serves Quebec City and a wide stretch of eastern Quebec — Chaudière-Appalaches, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean and the Côte-Nord. It is one of the original 9 Canadian area codes assigned in the 1947 North American Numbering Plan, when it briefly covered nearly all of Quebec outside Montreal.",
"body2": "In 1957, the new 819 area code split off to serve central and western Quebec, narrowing 418 to roughly the territory it still covers today. Overlay codes 581 and later 367 were added to that same region as demand grew. A 418 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Quebec City customers, wherever your team works from.",
