Telephone numbers in Canada follow the fixed-length format of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) of a three-digit area code, a three-digit central office code (or exchange code), and a four-digit station or line code. This is represented as NPA NXX XXXX. [1]
0–9. Area codes 204, 431, and 584; Area code 250; Area codes 306, 639, and 474; Area codes 418, 581, and 367; Area code 403; Area codes 416, 647, and 437
A new overlay area code, 437, started operation on March 25, 2013. [6] [7] That effectively allocates 24 million numbers to a city of 2.5 million people. Area code 942 is scheduled for addition to the 416/647/437 overlay on April 26, 2025. [8] Area code 387 has been reserved for Toronto's future use.
Area codes 506 and 428 are the telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Area code 506 was created in 1955 in a split of numbering plan area (NPA) 902. Area code 428 was added to the same numbering plan area in 2023 to form an overlay plan of the area.
The projected exhaust dates for area codes 403 and 780 were March and October 2009, respectively. In 1997, two area codes, 587 and 825, were reserved by Bellcore for Alberta. [1] The first of the new area codes, 587, entered service on September 19, 2008, as an overlay for the entire province.
The numbering plan area surrounds the city of Toronto (area codes 416/647/437), leading locals to refer to the primarily suburban cities surrounding Toronto as "the 905" or "905 belt". It is bound by the 519/226/548/382 overlay area in the west, 705/249/683 in the north, 613/343/753 in the east, and Western New York State's 716/624 area on the ...
Area code 450 entered service in 1998. The numbering plan area completely surrounds area code 514, which was confined to the Island of Montreal and a few surrounding islands, and so it is one of the six pairs of "doughnut area codes" in the numbering plan, and the only one in Canada (Toronto's area code 416 also borders Lake Ontario).
Area code 819 thus bordered area code 613 and the new area code 705 in Ontario, area code 418 in the east and the north of Quebec, and the remainder of area code 514 in the south of Quebec. When telephone service was introduced in the eastern Northwest Territories (most of which is now the territory of Nunavut , created in 1999), in Frobisher ...
