Area code 807

Area code 807 is a telephone

NPA 705. The main reason for the split was not central office prefix exhaustion, but routing efficiency for calls from Western Canada to northwestern Ontario.^{[citation needed}

Major communities served by area code 807 include

Eastern Time

Zones.

The incumbent local exchange carriers in the numbering plan area are Tbaytel, Bell Canada, and Bell Aliant's Dryden Municipal Telephone Service.

The numbering plan area is one of the least populated in Canada. Fewer than 40% of its telephone numbers are in use and the Canadian Numbering Administration Consortium (CNAC) estimates that it will not be exhausted for many decades. In the turn of the 3rd millennium, as area code 705 neared exhaustion, the CNAC briefly considered "erasing" the 807-705 boundary and turning 807 into an overlay complex for all of Ontario north and west of the Golden Horseshoe. However, the potential for confusion advised against the implementation. As a result, 807 is the only area code in Ontario without an overlay, and hence the only one that still allows seven-digit dialing. The only other Canadian area codes without overlay are 709 and 867.^[1]
