604 area code summary

The 604 area code is a key component of British Columbia's telecommunications system in Canada, serving a substantial portion of the province and playing a crucial role in its connectivity and regional identity.

Serving the Lower Mainland and More: The 604 area code is one of the original area codes established in 1947, initially covering the entire province of British Columbia. It now primarily serves the Lower Mainland, including the city of Vancouver, and also covers areas such as Richmond, Burnaby, and Surrey. Additionally, 604 extends to areas outside of the Lower Mainland, including the Sunshine Coast and the Sea-to-Sky corridor. Supporting a Diverse and Dynamic Region: The region served by the 604 area code is known for its vibrant economy and cultural diversity. Vancouver, as a major urban center, is a hub for commerce, arts, and international trade, and is recognized for its scenic beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities. The 604 area code supports the high volume of communication necessary for the area's diverse economic activities and the needs of its multicultural population. Adaptation to Technological Advancements and Population Growth: The increasing demand for phone numbers due to population growth and the proliferation of cell phones led to the introduction of additional area codes in British Columbia. The 778 area code was introduced as an overlay in 2001, and later the 236 and 672 area codes were added. These changes reflect the region's adaptation to evolving telecommunication needs and demographic shifts.

The 604 area code, along with its overlays, symbolizes British Columbia's adaptability, economic vitality, and cultural diversity, playing a critical role in connecting the Lower Mainland and surrounding areas, and supporting the province's dynamic and diverse communities.

Great tool and good support! Best replacement for Skype so far – in fact I like it even better than Skype. Hope they will add more countries phone numbers soon.
