Find any 709- phone number in Newfoundland and Labrador

The 709 area code is the telephone area code in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It was created in 1962 when Newfoundland and Labrador split from the original joint province of Newfoundland and Labrador and joined Confederation. Currently, 709 is the only areacode used in Newfoundland and Labrador. It serves the entire province, including both urban and rural areas.

The 709 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), a system that assigns area codes to telephone numbers in the United States, Canada, and many Caribbean nations. The NANP divides the countries into "numbering plan areas" (NPAs), which are further subdivided into "rate centers". The 709 area code is one of fifteen NPA's within the NANP, one for each Canadian province. These NPAs are further subdivided into smaller local calling areas, determined by the first three digits of each seven-digit telephone number. This ensures that no two telephone numbers in the same area share the same seven-digit number, allowing for quicker and more efficient dialing.
