Questions developers ask
- Where is area code 672?
- Area code 672 is in British Columbia, Canada: all 324 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 672, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 672 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 324 exchanges on record in 672, 150 (46%) were allocated as mobile, 68 (21%) as fixed line and 106 (33%) 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 672?
- 12 carriers hold exchanges in 672 on record; the most: Iristel (73), ISP Telecom (51) and Telus (51). 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 672 phone number?
- In E.164 a 672 number matches ^\+1672[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 (672) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
