Notes on Area 416
|
||
|
||
In the fall of 1993, the 416 area code will be split. Bell Canada has
|
||
announced that only Toronto exchange will retain the 416 area code.
|
||
Every other place in what is now 416 will be changed to the new 905
|
||
area code. From this list, Toronto prefixes (including cellular and
|
||
pager) will remain in 416. All other localities will move to 905.
|
||
|
||
Some potential pitfalls of the 905 area code are 1) that 905 used
|
||
to be the area code used to dial Mexico City (Mexico can now be
|
||
called under the overseas dialing setup); 2) 905 somewhat resembles
|
||
area code 705 which will be adjacent to the north adding to some
|
||
confusion; 3) a preferable area code would have been 210 due to faster
|
||
rotary dialing; since the announcement of the 416 split, 210 has been
|
||
assigned to split the 512 area code in Texas. This split is expected
|
||
to change the dialing of local calls that cross the Toronto boundary
|
||
ie. dial area code + local number if dialing a local call into or out
|
||
of Toronto (no 1 + is needed beforehand unless the call is indeed long
|
||
distance). The split will be completed at the start of 1994 (the end of
|
||
the "permissible" dialing period in which 905 may or may not be used
|
||
for calls outside Toronto).
|
||
|
||
In March 1990, the dialing system in 416 was changed to allow for NXX codes
|
||
(N is a digit from 2 to 8, X is any digit 0 to 9) from the previous
|
||
NNX prefix format. Basically, area codes style numbers may now be used
|
||
for exchanges. This means that the area code 416 will have to be dialed
|
||
for all long distance calls within 416 (previously, just 1 + number has
|
||
to be dialed). Local dialing will remain as is, with just the dialing
|
||
of seven digits. The list shows new exchanges as they are assigned.
|
||
|
||
The first exchanges to get the new style of prefixes were of the form
|
||
50X, 51X, 60X and 61X. Note that exchanges like 514, 519, 613 were not
|
||
assigned, and may never be assigned since it may become necessary to
|
||
use the area codes for purposes of local dialing across area code
|
||
boundaries. Indeed, since 905+number will be required to dial from
|
||
Toronto to outlying local exchanges, 905 will not be assigned as a
|
||
prefix. New prefixes of the 40X, 41X and 81X form have also been
|
||
placed in service in recent months.
|
||
|
||
Some exchanges in the 90X or 91X series may be assigned for WATS line
|
||
service as has been the case previous to the change to extra exchange
|
||
prefixes. The exact assignments are unknown at this time. Possible
|
||
mistakes resulting in calls to 911 may also be a factor in avoiding
|
||
new prefixes of the 91X form at this time (and 911 itself will not
|
||
become a prefix in ordinary service for obvious reasons).
|
||
|
||
Any blanks in the list mean the exchange is not in service as of last
|
||
report, or the exchange number is being used for some other unknown purpose.
|
||
There are sometimes things like billing codes used internally by Bell,
|
||
for instance. There may also be other exchanges for such things as cellular
|
||
telephones, pagers and test circuits that are not usually mentioned in phone
|
||
books, etc. An effort was made to list each exchange that appears to be
|
||
active, even if it is listed with question marks to mark an unknown status.
|
||
|
||
Some exchange profiles follow. Sometimes an exchange can be primarily
|
||
devoted to use by a single company, since a Centrex or similar system can
|
||
take up most or all of a telephone exchange prefix. Here are some of these
|
||
exchanges in Toronto (remember that not all numbers in a specific company
|
||
exchange need to be related to that company; some parts of these exchanges
|
||
can go to other services, companies or to the general public):
|
||
|
||
392 - Metro Toronto municipal 393 - TTC/Metro schools/other Metro
|
||
539 - Toronto Transit "time line" 592 - Ontario Hydro
|
||
599 - Bell Canada 866 - Bank of Nova Scotia
|
||
867 - Bank of Montreal 965 - Ontario government
|
||
973 - Federal government 974 - Royal Bank
|
||
978 - University of Toronto 980 - Bank of Commerce
|
||
982 - Toronto-Dominion Bank
|
||
|
||
The above list is not complete; there may be other exchanges designated for
|
||
a predominantly single company or usage.
|
||
|
||
In addition, 870 and 872 are Toronto exchanges used for recorded messages,
|
||
broadcast station contest lines, ticket agencies, and other "mass calling"
|
||
purposes. These kind of lines can be called "choke" exchanges, to handle
|
||
conditions that can get very congested.
|
||
|
||
Exchanges like 320 and 942 seem to be active from some places, but not from
|
||
others. These may be test exchanges, or exchanges to be activated in the
|
||
near future, or localised testing exchanges. It could also be a programming
|
||
error in a few telephone switches.
|
||
|
||
997 is an exchange used for numbers that will identify the telephone
|
||
number that is calling. 996 is used for some testing as well. 958 and 970
|
||
are used for other tests and are accessed by dialing 1+416+ beforehand.
|
||
|
||
999 is sometimes used for testing; if so, the exchange will give another
|
||
dial tone when 999 + the number that's calling is dialed.
