About the 506 area code
Since 1955, area code 506 has connected New Brunswick, Canada, linking Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Miramichi, and Bathurst. The province keeps Atlantic time.
The code now shares the province with area code 428, which operates as an overlay across the same territory. Because two codes cover the same ground, a local call anywhere in New Brunswick is dialed using the full ten-digit number.
Dialing note: 506 is part of an overlay complex with 428, 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.
