How does the 778 business phone number work?
The 778 business phone number works like any other phone number in Canada regarding making and receiving phone calls. It enables global communication while facilitating local calls within the 778 areas.
When a customer dials the business’s 778 number, the call is routed through the local telecommunications infrastructure to the business’s phone system. This allows the company to receive incoming calls from customers, clients, and partners.

The 778 is an area code that directs the calls to the appropriate region, and 363 is an exchange or central office code that routes the call to a specific carrier or service provider.
