Quebec area codes
Quebec, Quebec is served by 4 area codes: 418, 581, 367 and 273. They overlay the same geography, so local calls take all ten digits regardless of which code a number uses. 418 carries the most numbers – 142 of the 287 number blocks assigned in the exchange, about 49%. The newest of them, 367, went into service in 2018. Bell holds the largest share at 23%, followed by Bell Mobility 18%, Telus Mobility 13%. NANPA and the CNA list relief planning for 273, so another code is being prepared for this area.

Questions about Quebec numbers
What area code is Quebec?
Quebec has 4: 418, 581, 367, 273. All of them cover the same area, so a number can carry any of them.
Do I need to dial 10 digits in Quebec?
Yes. Where two or more codes overlay the same area, every local call needs the full ten digits.
Which carrier has most Quebec numbers?
Bell holds about 23% of the number blocks assigned here. This is share of blocks allocated by the Canadian Numbering Administrator, not share of customers – people keep their numbers when they switch carriers.
Is 367 a new area code?
It went into service in 2018 as an overlay, meaning it was added to supply new numbers in the same area rather than replacing the existing codes.
Is a call from a Quebec number safe?
The area code tells you nothing about that. Spam callers routinely fake the number they display, often choosing a local-looking one because it gets answered more often. Look up the full number instead.
