# The 367 Area Code and Quebec's Numbering System
The 367 area code is an overlay area code that serves the province of Quebec, Canada, as part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). Implemented to accommodate the growing demand for telephone numbers in the region, 367 covers the same geographic territory as the existing 514 area code, which primarily serves the Montreal metropolitan area and surrounding regions. As an overlay code, 367 does not replace 514 but rather shares the same service area, meaning both codes are used for new phone numbers assigned in Quebec's largest urban center. This arrangement allows telecommunications providers to issue additional phone numbers without requiring existing customers to change their area codes.
The North American Numbering Plan is a standardized system that assigns three-digit area codes to geographic regions across North America, including the United States, Canada, and several Caribbean nations. Area codes are typically designated based on population density and telephone number demand, with larger metropolitan areas receiving overlay codes when the original area code becomes saturated. The system is administered by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) in coordination with telecommunications regulators in each country. The introduction of 367 in Quebec reflects the region's continued growth and the increasing need for telephone numbers, ensuring that both businesses and residents can obtain new phone numbers as demand requires.
