Find any 226- phone number in Ontario
The 226 area code is a geographic code denoting the Canadian province of Ontario. It was created in March of 2000 when the province was split up into multiple area codes due to a growing population and a need for additional area codes. The 226 area code serves a majority of Southwestern Ontario, including Sarnia, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, and Windsor.
The 226 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) which is a standardized system used to designate telephone numbers in the United States, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean. The NANP system divides most of North America into geographic regions that are each assigned a unique three-digit area code. These area codes are then used to assign seven- or ten-digit phone numbers to individual businesses and residences. This system allows telephone calls to be routed to their proper destinations regardless of their geographic location in North America.
