Questions developers ask
- Where is area code 418?
- Area code 418 is in Quebec, Canada: all 776 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 418, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 418 number mobile or landline?
- Either: in the North American Numbering Plan the line type belongs to the exchange (the three digits after the area code), not to the area code. Of the 776 exchanges on record in 418, 174 (22%) were allocated as mobile, 597 (77%) as fixed line and 5 (1%) as VoIP. A number can have been ported since, to another carrier and even to another line type.
- Which carriers have numbers in area code 418?
- 19 carriers hold exchanges in 418 on record; the most: Bell (272), Telus (269) and Videotron (144). These are the original allocations: with number portability, a number may be served by another carrier today, which only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) can tell.
- How do I validate a 418 phone number?
- In E.164 a 418 number matches ^\+1418[2-9]\d{6}$: +1, the area code, a central office code that does not start with 0 or 1, then four digits. Written nationally it reads (418) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
