Find any 506- phone number in New Brunswick

The 506 area code is designated as part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). NANP is the telephone numbering plan that assigns unique three digit area codes to all countries and territories on the North American continent. The 506 area code is assigned to telephone services in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. The area code serves most of the province, with the exception of a small area of northwestern New Brunswick that uses area code 819.

506 was introduced as part of a three-way split in March 1999, when all of the province's exchanges were divided between 506, 709, and 902. Prior to the split, the entire province used area code 902. With the growing number of telecommunication services in New Brunswick, the split ensured that new phone numbers could continue to be made available for many years to come.
