Question 6

Is 902 a country code?

Accepted Answer

No. 902 is a Canadian area code (a domestic 3-digit code), not a country code. The country (calling) code for Canada is +1, shared across the North American Numbering Plan. So a full 902 number written for international dialing looks like +1 902 followed by the 7-digit local number.
