Can I change just my area code?

Can I change my area code as I moved to a different province? While keeping the same number. If yes, how to do that??

nope...you can change area code but likely not find same number...would be a fluke if'n you did.

@mkhurram4all you can change the area code but would need a new number but you can keep refreshing the page to view the number pool . Also note you can change phone number 4x for free every 30 day cycle in profile page

Change # on profile tabs

@mkhurram4all

and one thing to add, each carriers only own selected sets of phone numbers and cannot assign you any number you want even if the number is available.

For example 604-202-xxxx are owneed by Telus, which PM can assigns those numbers to customers, but 416-202-xxxx are not numbers that PM can assign to any of its customers

Usually people would try to find number to match the last 4 digits instead of getting the exact 7 digits on another area code.
