The 778 area code was created as a split from the original 604 area code that once covered all of British Columbia. Today, 778 is exclusively tied to British Columbia, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Vancouver – the bustling heart of the province
Surrey – a vibrant, diverse city
Burnaby – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 778 has represented British Columbia pride, offering the best of urban life with fast access to all regions.
The 778 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 778 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.
The 778 area code covers all of British Columbia, including:
Vancouver
Surrey
Burnaby
and many more.
Getting a 778 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of British Columbia’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
