The 250 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 250 that once covered all of British Columbia. Today, 250 is exclusively tied to British Columbia, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Nanaimo – a vibrant waterfront city
Parksville – known for its beautiful beaches
Duncan – a charming city with rich Indigenous heritage
For generations, 250 has represented British Columbia pride, offering the best of province life with fast access to all regions.
The 250 area code operates in the Pacific Time Zone (PT)–the same time zone as British Columbia. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 250 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.
The 250 area code covers all of British Columbia, including:
Nanaimo
Parksville
Duncan
and many more.
Getting a 250 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of British Columbia’s busiest regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
