About the 782 area code
Since 2014, area code 782 has covered Halifax, Nova Scotia, along with the Canadian communities of Charlottetown and Sydney, all running on Atlantic time.
It was placed over the territory of the existing 902 code as an overlay rather than replacing it, so both codes now apply to the very same area. In a complex of this kind, dialing a local number always involves ten digits.
Dialing note: 782 is part of an overlay complex with 902, 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.
