Area code 902 and overlay area code 782 are the telephone area codes in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The 902 area code is one of the 86 original area codes established in the North American Numbering Plan in October 1947. The 902 code originally covered the three Maritime provinces, with Newfoundland added shortly after it joined Canada in 1949. New Brunswick, along with Newfoundland, moved to area code 506 in 1955. Newfoundland (now Newfoundland and Labrador) subsequently received its own area code, 709, in early 1962. The incumbent local exchange carrier in the 902/782 area is Bell Aliant, which was produced from a merger that included Island Telecom (formerly Island Tel), Maritime Telephone and Telegraph (MT&T), New Brunswick Tel (NBTel) and NewTel Communications (NewTel). == Coverage area == 902/782 is unusual as it covers two entire provinces, much like area code 867 is shared by the three Canadian territories: Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. No area code has ever covered two entire US states. Other area codes cross provincial or state boundaries on a very limited basis, including: *250 is used in much of British Columbia, but also in Hyder, Alaska. *418 (now overlain with 581) covers eastern Quebec, and is also used in the border hamlet of Estcourt Station, Maine. *541 covers most of Oregon, but also is used in part of California's Del Norte County. *613 (eastern Ontario) includes one exchange in Saint Regis, Quebec which straddles the border. Area code 809 originally was shared by most Caribbean islands (exceptions are: Cuba, Haiti, the Netherlands Antilles, and the French West Indies) but now serves only the Dominican Republic. 809 since has been overlain with 829 and 849. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Area codes 902 and 782」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
