B.C. is getting another area code to meet the demand for new phone numbers.
Following a decision by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, area code 257 will be introduced as the province’s sixth active area code starting May 24, 2025.
Consumers and businesses that request a new phone number after May 24 may receive a number with that area code.
The code 257 will join 604, 250, 778, 236 and 672, which are already in use.
