Phone numbers with the 778 area code prefix originate from the entire Canadian province of British Columbia. Initially, Area code 778 was created as a concentrated overlay for the two largest regional districts in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Regional District. It was later expanded to become an overlay for the entire province. Additionally, it serves the small United States community of Hyder, Alaska, which is located along the Canada–United States border near the town of Stewart, British Columbia.
Area code 778 is part of an overlay complex that serves British Columbia. It was created on November 3, 2001, as a concentrated overlay for the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional District. On July 4, 2007, 778 expanded to become an overlay for the entire province. This area also includes overlay codes 236 (introduced June 1, 2013), 672 (activated May 4, 2019), and 257 (to be introduced May 24, 2025). These codes all work together in the same geographic region, alongside the original area codes 604 and 250. The implementation of 778 made ten-digit dialing mandatory across the Lower Mainland, and as of June 23, 2008, ten-digit dialing became mandatory across all of British Columbia, with seven-digit dialing ceasing to function after September 12, 2008.
Area code 778 is a General Purpose Code which was placed in service on January 1, 1947.
