Area Code 438 was introduced in 2006 as an overlay to 514, the iconic code for Montreal. With the city booming and mobile phones on the rise, 438 became the number of a modern, bilingual metropolis. From Mile End creatives to West Island entrepreneurs, a 438 call blends old-world charm with new-age energy. While 514 still carries historical weight, 438 reflects a contemporary Montreal, diverse, expressive, and always evolving. It’s not about replacing tradition; it’s about keeping pace with it. In one of North America’s most vibrant cities, 438 represents growth with flair.
