Area code 902 is the telephone area code in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, encompassing the whole of both provinces. The 902 Area Code was originally established in 1947 for all three Maritime provinces, with Newfoundland and Labrador added shortly after it joined Canada; New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador were separated from 902 sometime in 1955. Newfoundland and Labrador subsequently split from New Brunswick's 506 Area Code, into its own 709 Area Code, sometime during early 1962.

The 902 Area Code was originally established in 1947 for all three Maritime provinces, with Newfoundland and Labrador added shortly after it joined Canada; New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador were separated from 902 sometime in 1955. Newfoundland and Labrador subsequently split from New Brunswick's 506 Area Code, into its own 709 Area Code, sometime during early 1962. 902 remains the only North American area code shared by two provinces; no US area code has ever been shared by two states.
