Area code 450
Quebec, Canada
National (450) 555-0123, E.164 +14505550123
How the 774 central office codes (exchanges) of area code 450 were allocated, from the North American Numbering Plan's records: to which carrier, as which line type. A 450 number is mobile, fixed line or VoIP according to its exchange, the three digits after the area code; the allocation is the original one (below).

Questions developers ask
- Where is area code 450?
- Area code 450 is in Quebec, Canada: all 774 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 450, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 450 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 774 exchanges on record in 450, 105 (14%) were allocated as mobile, 634 (82%) as fixed line and 35 (5%) 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 450?
- 22 carriers hold exchanges in 450 on record; the most: Bell (280), Videotron (212) and Telus (68). 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 450 phone number?
- In E.164 a 450 number matches ^\+1450[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 (450) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
