How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Canada

Canada uses the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) with country code +1 and fixed-length 10-digit numbers (NPA-NXX-XXXX). From abroad (outside the NANP), dial your country’s exit code → 1 → area code → 7-digit number. From the U.S./Canada, just dial 1 + area code + number (no 011 needed). Inside Canada, the long-distance trunk is 1; international calls use 011. Mobiles and landlines share the same area codes—there are no separate mobile prefixes.

Mobiles vs landlines: Because numbers aren’t split by service type, treat every Canadian number as +1 {area} {number}. Wireless number portability has been in effect since March 14, 2007, so digits don’t reliably indicate the current carrier—dial exactly as given.

What are the city and area codes in Canada

Dialing tip: From the U.S./Canada dial 1 + area code + number; from elsewhere use your exit code (e.g., 011) → 1 → area code → number. Note that toll-free (800/888/877/866/855/844/833) numbers often won’t work from outside the U.S./Canada
