Overlay System
Area code 250 operates within an overlay system. It was originally created on October 19, 1996, as a split from area code 604. Area code 778 was expanded to become an overlay for the entire province starting July 4, 2007. Subsequently, area code 236 was implemented on June 1, 2013, as a distributed overlay of area codes 250, 604, and 778. Most recently, area code 672 was introduced on May 4, 2019, as an additional distributed overlay to relieve area codes 250, 604, 778, and 236. As a result of these overlays, ten-digit dialing became mandatory throughout British Columbia effective June 23, 2008.
