About the 438 area code
Area code 438 is a Montreal code, tied to that city in the Canadian province of Quebec. Like the rest of the city's numbers, its lines sit on Eastern time.
Montreal added 438 in 2006 as an overlay of area code 514, and 263 belongs to the same complex. Sharing one footprint among several codes means the city's local calls always carry ten digits.
Dialing note: 438 is part of an overlay complex with 263, 514, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
