Find any 438- phone number in Quebec
The 438 area code is one of the local area codes used by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). It is assigned to the region of Quebec, Canada, and was created in October 2008 as an overlay of the 514 area code. It is also one of the few codes in Canada with the "438" prefix.
The NANP designates area codes as a part of its system in several geographic regions, including Canada. Numbers in Canadian area codes are formatted differently than numbers in U.S. area codes: instead of having seven digits, they have ten. The first three digits of the code depict the area that the number is located in, while the following seven digits represent the individual line or service. As of 2016, Canada had over two hundred area codes that are part of the NANP, ensuring that these regions have access to enough numbers for their needs.
