Area code 902
Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Canada
National (902) 555-0123, E.164 +19025550123
How the 779 central office codes (exchanges) of area code 902 were allocated, from the North American Numbering Plan's records: to which carrier, as which line type. A 902 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 902?
- Area code 902 is in Nova Scotia (664 exchanges) and Prince Edward Island (115 exchanges), Canada: its 779 exchanges on record are split between them. From abroad it is dialled +1 902, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 902 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 779 exchanges on record in 902, 239 (31%) were allocated as mobile, 487 (63%) as fixed line and 53 (7%) 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 902?
- 12 carriers hold exchanges in 902 on record; the most: Bell (428), Eastlink (142) and Telus (66). 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 902 phone number?
- In E.164 a 902 number matches ^\+1902[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 (902) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
