History of 236 Area Code Canada
Area code 236 was put into service on June 1, 2013, to meet British Columbia's growing demand for new phone numbers. In 2013, seven new phone codes were introduced in the region, including 236, to alleviate the pressure on the 604, 250, and 778. 236 follows 10-digit dialing, so the callers must dial the area code before the local number to make a call, even when making local calls.
British Columbia currently uses 5 area codes. The original code 604 was split in 1996 to exclusively serve the Greater Vancouver area, with the introduction of the 250 dial code serving all areas of BC outside of the 604 region. In 2001, the North American Numbering Plan put 778 into service to cover the whole BC province as an overlay code for 604 and 250. 236 telephone code overlays 778, and 672 dial code overlays 236. Unlike 604 and 250, 778, 236, and 672 cover all parts of BC.
