Find any 780- phone number in Alberta
The 780 area code is a telephone dialing code that covers the Edmonton metropolitan area, as well as most of northern Alberta, Canada. The 780 area code was created in 1999, when it was split off from the 403 area code. Before 1999, both Edmonton and Calgary were under the 403 area code.
The 780 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan, or NANP. This numbering plan was created in 1947 to facilitate the efficient use of telephone numbers across the continent. The NANP assigns area codes to each of the 10 provinces and three territories of Canada. In the 780 area code, subscribers are allotted a seven digit telephone number, with the first three digits being the area code. Furthermore, each area code can accommodate up to 7.9 million numbers, allowing for further growth in the area.
