Area code 450
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 450 is a telephone area code in the Canadian province of Quebec, encompassing the off-island suburbs of Montreal (which is the area code 514 and now 438). The area code is also shared by several small communities in an adjacent part of Ontario: some landline customers in Chute-à-Blondeau (East Hawkesbury), near Pointe-Fortune have 450-451-xxxx numbers from the Rigaud phone exchange. Due to population growth, after considering adding a new overlay code, area code 579, to the area, on 7 May 2009, the CRTC ruled that area code 438 will be extended to overlay both 450 and 514. 579 will be reserved for a future overlay of the entire 438/450/514 region when the need arises.[1]
Among the cities served by area code 450 are Longueuil and Laval.
The communities of Boucherville, Varennes, Roussillon, Joliette, Saint-Hyacinthe, Granby, Chambly, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Vaudreuil-Dorion are also part of this area code.
The main incumbent local exchange carrier in 450 is Bell Canada, plus some independent companies.
