Frequently asked questions

What is the area code for Halifax?

The area code for Halifax, Canada is 902. Calling from outside Canada, dial your exit code, then +1, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number — written together as +1 902 followed by the subscriber number.

How do I call Halifax from abroad?

From the United States or Canada, dial 011 + 1 + 902 + the local number. From most of Europe and from a mobile anywhere, replace the exit code with 00 or simply press and hold 0 to enter a plus sign, which works from any country without knowing its exit code.

Do I drop the 1 when calling Halifax?

Yes. Canada uses 1 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls, so Halifax's code is written 902 locally and dialled as 902 from abroad. Keeping the trunk prefix in an international number is the single most common reason the call fails to connect.

How many digits is a Halifax phone number?

A full Canada number is 10 digits after the country code, area code included — for example +1 (416) 555-1234. That length is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number one digit short is a typo rather than a valid shorter number.

How much does it cost to call Halifax?

Calling a Halifax landline costs $0.07 a minute with Telvio and a mobile costs $0.07. Ten minutes to a landline is $0.70. Billing is per second with no connection fee, so a short call is charged for the seconds it used rather than rounded up to a whole minute.
