Questions developers ask
- Where is area code 782?
- Area code 782 is in Nova Scotia (411 exchanges) and Prince Edward Island (53 exchanges), Canada: its 464 exchanges on record are split between them. From abroad it is dialled +1 782, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 782 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 464 exchanges on record in 782, 88 (19%) were allocated as mobile, 237 (51%) as fixed line and 139 (30%) 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 782?
- 10 carriers hold exchanges in 782 on record; the most: Distributel (84), Fibernetics (80) and Eastlink (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 782 phone number?
- In E.164 a 782 number matches ^\+1782[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 (782) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
