Geographic Regions and Area Codes

The 514 area code serves Montreal and the surrounding region in Quebec, Canada. This area code specifically covers the Island of Montreal, Île Perrot, and Île Bizard. The region is also overlaid with the 438 and 263 area codes, meaning all three are used in the same geographic region. This overlay system requires callers to dial the area code even for local calls. The 514 area code was one of the original North American area codes established in 1947.
