Starting June 18, the new 683 area code will be introduced in the region currently served by area codes 249 and 705 in Ontario. The introduction of the new area code is in response to the increasing demand for phone numbers in the region, ensuring residents and businesses continue to have enough numbers to meet demand well into the future.
“The new area code will be introduced gradually starting on June 18. After this date, consumers and businesses requesting a new phone number may receive one with the new area code,” said Kelly T. Walsh, Program Manager of the Canadian Numbering Administrator.
