Find any 902- phone number in Nova Scotia

The 902 area code is used to designate the geographic area covered by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is one of a total of twelve area codes that have been issued by the NANP, which is responsible for assigning phone number identification throughout Canada, the US, and some other Caribbean nations.

The 902 area code was first established in 1988 when a split of the 902 region was required to meet rising demand for telephone numbers. This new code also required the introduction of a system of dialing known as 10-digit dialing, thus allowing residents in Nova Scotia to distinguish long distance numbers from local numbers. With such a distinct area code for Nova Scotia, the 902 is considered a great source of regional pride and identity for the province.
