{{Short description|Telephone area codes for Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island}}
'''Area codes 902 and 782''' are telephone [[area code]]s in the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) for the [[Provinces and territories of Canada|Canadian province]]s of [[Nova Scotia]] and [[Prince Edward Island]]. Area code 902 was one of the nine [[original North American area codes]] in Canada established in October 1947. Area code 782 was added to the numbering plan area in August 2014, to form an [[overlay complex]] in mitigation of telephone number shortages.

==History==
When the [[American Telephone and Telegraph Company]] (AT&T) established the first continental [[telephone numbering plan]] for [[Operator Toll Dialing]] in 1947, the Canadian provinces were organized into nine [[numbering plan area]]s (NPAs) with one unique area codes each. Area code 902 was assigned to the area comprising [[The Maritimes]] (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island).

In 1949, Newfoundland was added in an expansion of numbering plan area 902. But by 1955, the code was withdrawn from service in New Brunswick and Newfoundland, which received [[area code 506]] in the [[area code split|split]], leaving only two of the Maritimes with 902.<ref>{{cite web

Around 2000, when the United States transitioned to [[telephone number pooling]], the Canadian administrators of NANP numbering resources did not participate, and kept allocating blocks of ten thousand numbers, an entire central office prefix, to [[competitive local exchange carrier]]s in every [[rate center|rate centre]] where the carrier offers new service. While only 1.06 million people reside in numbering plan area 902, which provides 7.8 million possible seven-digit telephone numbers, the area code was projected to be exhausted by 2015.

In October 2012, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) directed that numbering relief for Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island be implemented as an [[area code overlay]] of 902 with area code 782.<ref name="PL454">{{cite web

}}</ref> The decision to implement a bi-provincial overlay may have been unusual, but was made to spare residents in rural areas of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island the burden of having to change numbers. As a result, area code 782 was introduced on August 23, 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/nova-scotia-and-pei-to-get-new-area-code/article4579435/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130204051624/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/nova-scotia-and-pei-to-get-new-area-code/article4579435/ |archive-date=2013-02-04 |date=2012-10-01 |access-date=2022-01-08 |title=Nova Scotia and PEI to get new area code |publisher=[[The Globe and Mail]]}}</ref> Central office codes for 782 were made available to telephone service providers on May 30, 2014, which could not be activated until November 30, 2014, the official in-service date.<ref name="PL454"/>

In November 2022, '''area code 851''' was reserved for future assignment as a third area code for the region, but no relief planning has been initiated, as the projected time frame for exhaust has been determined for April 2029.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2022/2022-308.htm|title=Telecom Decision CRTC 2022-308|date=2022-11-08|publisher=Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission|access-date=2023-05-20}}</ref>

The incumbent local exchange carrier in the numbering plan area is [[Bell Aliant]], which was produced from a merger that included [[Island Telephone Company|Island Telecom Inc.]] (formerly Island Telephone, but both were informally shortened to Island Tel), [[Maritime Telephone and Telegraph]] (MT&T), New Brunswick Tel ([[NBTel]]) and [[NewTel Communications]] (NewTel).{{cn|date=March 2025}}

==Service area==
The numbering plan area spans two entire provinces, much like [[area code 867]] is shared by the three Canadian territories: [[Northwest Territories]], [[Nunavut]], and [[Yukon]]. This practice is today unique to Canada, but it was once practiced also for the Caribbean island states.
