About 474 Area Code
Area code 474 covers the entire province of Saskatchewan, Canada. It launched on October 2, 2021 as the province's third area code, joining the existing 306 and 639 codes in a province-wide overlay complex. Because all three codes serve the same geographic area, 10-digit dialing has been required for all local calls in Saskatchewan since May 2013. The incumbent local exchange carrier is SaskTel, and numbers under 474 are distributed across all providers operating in the province.
Saskatchewan's economy is built around agriculture, potash mining, uranium production, and a growing technology sector. Regina, the provincial capital, hosts major Crown Corporations and government services, while Saskatoon, home to global resource companies like Cameco and Nutrien, drives mining and life-sciences activity. Businesses across these industries use local Saskatchewan numbers for customer support lines, field-operations coordination, appointment scheduling, and B2B outreach. A 474 number carries the same local recognition as a 306 or 639 number and can help your calls get answered by customers who recognize a Saskatchewan prefix.
FoneSwift lists live 474 inventory with per-number capability details on this page. Check whether each number supports Voice, SMS, or MMS before you buy. Because 474 is an overlay for 306 and 639, all three codes share the same geographic footprint. If a 474 number isn't immediately available, a 306 or 639 number reaches the same Saskatchewan audience just as effectively. Use the search widget above to compare options across all three codes.
If your business targets Saskatchewan customers, display your number in both local and E.164 formats, for example (474) 555-1234 and +1 474 555 1234, so it works across web listings, CRMs, and NANP-aware platforms. Keep in mind that 10-digit dialing is mandatory for all local calls within Saskatchewan, so always include the area code in your marketing materials. If you plan to run A2P SMS campaigns, register your traffic to comply with Canadian carrier requirements.

Ten-digit dialing is mandatory for all local calls within Saskatchewan across area codes 306, 639, and 474. The "1" prefix is not required for local intra-provincial calls. For A2P business SMS, register your traffic to comply with Canadian carrier guidelines.
Area code 474 uses Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6) year-round. Saskatchewan does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so the UTC offset never changes. Business hours in Regina and Saskatoon are consistently UTC-6 in all seasons. Lloydminster and a few surrounding communities observe Mountain Time and do adjust clocks seasonally.
Because 474, 306, and 639 are all province-wide overlays, any of the three codes delivers the same local recognition across Saskatchewan. If 474 inventory is limited, 306 or 639 numbers reach the same audience. Local Saskatchewan numbers typically outperform toll-free numbers for inbound answer rates in regional markets.
Quick Facts about 474 Area Code
Interesting tidbits about this area code 474
Saskatchewan's third area code
Area code 474 became the province's third area code on October 2, 2021. Saskatchewan had used just two codes (306 and 639) for nearly a decade before growing demand for mobile and telecom services made a third necessary.
Province-wide overlay
474 does not cover a specific region of Saskatchewan; it covers the whole province as an overlay. Two people in the same city can share the same 7-digit number with different area codes, which is exactly why 10-digit dialing became mandatory.
No daylight saving time
Most of Saskatchewan stays on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6) all year and skips Daylight Saving Time entirely. Scheduling calls with Saskatchewan contacts is predictably simple: the clock never changes.
Potash and uranium capital
Saskatchewan holds a large share of the world's recoverable potash reserves and is a top global uranium producer. Companies like Nutrien and Cameco, headquartered in Saskatoon, generate significant B2B telephony demand across the 474 region.
Bread basket of Canada
Saskatchewan produces a significant share of Canada's wheat and is the country's largest exporter of several pulse crops including peas, lentils, and canary seed. Agri-business communication drives steady use of local phone lines right across the province.
Numbering capacity into the 2030s
The 306/474/639 overlay complex is projected to support Saskatchewan numbering needs through at least the mid-2030s, giving 474 numbers long-term stability for businesses investing in a local presence here.

How Does Local 474 Phone Numbers Work?
A local business number is a structured telephone identifier that tells networks where to route calls and messages. When you use a 474 number in Regina and Saskatchewan, the digits signal the international gateway, the geographic region, the local exchange and the specific subscriber, so calls reach the right destination quickly and reliably.
The typical parts of a Canada local number are:
- Country code (+1): identifies Canada for international routing.
- Area code (474): directs the call to the Regina / Saskatchewan region.
- Central office / exchange (eg. 555): narrows the call to a local switching area or rate center.
- Subscriber number (eg. 1234): the unique line assigned to a person, extension, or device.
Example formats:
| International Format (E.164) | +1 474 555 1234 |
| Local Format (National) | (474) 555-1234 |
