Okanagan Lake BC local landline and cell phone number prefix directory

I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone, just so I know not to answer when they call.

These land line and cellular phone number prefix's (listed nearer the middle of the page) are all for the (250) and (778) area codes which are based in the Okanagan BC, Kelowna, Westbank, Vernon, Penticton, Summerland, etc.

This list is made up from information gathered from regular people who arrive at this website. Telus doesn't like to give out much of this information, so we are trying to gather as much information as we can from everyone, and put it together so we can all use it. If you know a phone or cell number prefix not listed here, please tell us to list it by filling out this form. okanaganlakebc.ca does not guarantee that the cell and landline phone code prefix list below is accurate.

BC is getting a new area code! "236" will be rolled out in June, 2013.

The CRTC says it's adding the fourth area code because the Canadian Numbering Administrator thinks we will run out of numbers in BC by 2016. That's probably due to the rise in cell phone use.

The CRTC has also decided on a back-up area code for us: "672."

"604" was the only area code in the province until "250" was added in 1996. The "778" area code was added ten years ago.

Meantime, a new report from the has found wireless services grew by more than eight per cent across the country last year.

October 16 2008 - Someone has pointed us to a website with NXX codes for all the exchanges in Canada, and the website has a link to North America Numbering Plan Administrator.

National Do Not Call List - www.crtc.gc.ca
For cell phones and landline phones. Registering on the National Do Not Call List (DNCL) will not eliminate all telemarketing calls. There are exemptions within the Rules that may allow calls from organizations such as Canadian Registered charities, those with whom you have existing business relationships, political parties and newspapers.

Canadian Marketing Association - Do not contact service
The information you submit on their form will be used to stop unwanted direct marketing offers from organizations that use CMA's Do Not Contact Service. Your name will be added to this list, if you fill out their form in its entirety.

Beginning September 12, 2008 all local calls within BC will require you to dial the area code (you will need to dial 10 digits instead of 7). Starting June 23, 2007 there will be a permissive dialing period where you will be reminded to dial 10 digits if you dial only 7 digits without the area code.

Search google for example 250-542- (replace the first and last three digits with your number) and the results will come up with phone numbers that start with that prefix. You may find an address to go with the number and then you will know where that number is located.
