  • About British Columbia

    Telephony in British Columbia has a long history. The first telephone exchange in British Columbia was established in Victoria in 1878, just two years after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. This exchange had only a handful of subscribers, but it marked the beginning of a widespread adoption of telephone technology in the province. One interesting fact about British Columbia telephony is that it was the first province in Canada to have a direct long-distance telephone service. This service was established in 1887, between Vancouver and New Westminster, which were then two separate cities.

  • 778 Area Code

    The 778 area code is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan for the Canadian province of British Columbia. It is an overlay of the 604 area code, which had been serving the entire Lower Mainland of British Columbia, including the cities of Vancouver, Surrey, and Burnaby, since 1947. The 778 area code was put into service on November 3, 2001 as an overlay of area code 604.
