Find any 416- phone number in Ontario
The 416 area code is one of the original area codes for the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), often referred to as a telephone area code. It's mostly located in the province of Ontario, Canada and covers a large portion of the Greater Toronto area. It was established in 1947, and eventually expanded to cover some other parts of Ontario.
The 416 area code is based on the geographic regions and population needs that exist in different parts of the province. Each of the area codes in the NANP are active for 11 blocks of 10,000 numbers, and the longest with an angioplasty are assigned a separate area code. This system has been designed to create efficiency when assigning phone numbers to areas and reduce the need for additional or newer codes. The 416 area code also includes additional 900 and 976 numbers as well, which are reserved for businesses.
