Because Canada and the US both use the same telephone numbering system, dialing a number in Canada is the same as dialing another number in the US.

If you are using a calling card, prepaid plan, and other types of services, additional or different dialing steps may be required. As well, extra charges may apply beyond per minute rates, especially when calling to mobile phones in Canada. Please check with your provider for details.

Phone Number Formats to Call Halifax from the USA

From the US, dialing a number in Canada is the same as dialing another number in the US. This is because Canada and the United States both use the same telephone numbering system called the North American Numbering Plan.

As in the United States, all Canada phone numbers are 10-digits long and include a 3-digit area code and 7-digit local subscriber number. This is true for both mobile phones and landline phones.

Increasingly in Canada, the same region may have multiple area codes. Local subscriber numbers are unique within an area code. Please check here for more information on Halifax area codes.

Like US numbers, Canada phone numbers may be written to include a leading ' 1 '. This ' 1 ' can serve as either the Canada country code for inbound international calls or as a national direct code for national long distance dialing in Canada.

If the Halifax phone number you have does not contain the full 10-digit phone number, then you'll need to double check to find the correct number.
