About the 902 area code
Halifax heads the list of communities on area code 902 in Nova Scotia, Canada, joined by Dartmouth, Sydney, and Truro. The code sits in the Atlantic time zone.
One of the first codes assigned back in 1947, 902 carried the region alone for many years. It later gained 782 as an overlay partner, and the two codes now share a single territory, which requires ten-digit local dialing.
Dialing note: 902 is part of an overlay complex with 782, 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.
