Area Code 672

Area Code 672 History:

Not yet in service.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has approved area code 672 as a distributed overlay of area codes 236, 250, 604, and 778 with an implementation date of 05/04/2019. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is already necessary in the 236/250/604/778 overlay because different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.

Major cities or places in British Columbia within area code 672 include:

Area code 672 will serve all of British Columbia including the larger communities of Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Burnaby, Chilliwach, Langley, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Powell River, Richmond, Surry and Vancouver along with many smaller communities in southwestern British Columbia.
