Available 438 numbers

Area code 438 covers the island of Montréal, including Montréal, Outremont, Anjou and Lachine. It overlays 514: the same area can have any of them, and ten-digit dialling is required. 514 is exhausted, so a new Montréal line today is a 438. Your customers no longer tell them apart, and they call in both languages.
A 438 number tells your customer you are local. That is what gets you answered: a call from an unfamiliar area code often goes to voicemail unheard.
Frequently asked questions
Where is area code 438?
438 serves the island of Montréal, mainly Montréal, Outremont, Anjou and Lachine.
Can I get a 438 number without living there?
Yes. A 438 number can be set up from anywhere in Canada and works on your current phone, with no new device or SIM.
How long before it works?
The number is live as soon as the account is created. Your first call can come in within the minute.
Can I move my existing 438 number?
Yes, porting is included in all plans. It takes 5 to 10 business days, and a temporary number is assigned during the transition.
Can I text from this number?
Yes. The same 438 number sends and receives texts, and an AI agent can answer them.
How is this different from a toll-free number?
A 438 number roots you in a region and reassures a local customer. A toll-free number speaks to the whole country without saying where you are. Many businesses take both.
