About: Area code 807

An Entity of Type: movie, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Area code 807 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the Canadian province of Ontario. The numbering plan area (NPA), comprising only Northwestern Ontario, was created in early 1962 in an area code split of 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. Major communities served by area code 807 include Thunder Bay, Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, Rainy River, Marathon, and Greenstone. The area is split between the Central and Eastern Time Zones.

  • Area code 807 is a telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the Canadian province of Ontario. The numbering plan area (NPA), comprising only Northwestern Ontario, was created in early 1962 in an area code split of 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. Major communities served by area code 807 include Thunder Bay, Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, Rainy River, Marathon, and Greenstone. The area is split between the Central and 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 for all of Ontario north and west of the Golden Horseshoe. However, the potential for confusion prevented that solution from being ultimately implemented. As a result, 807 is the only area code in Ontario without an overlay and hence the only one that still allows 7-digit dialing. Other such Canadian area codes are 506, 709, and 867. Although Northwestern Ontario should not need an additional area code anytime soon, 10-digit dialing may still need to be implemented in the area in the near future. That prospect became more likely in August 2022 when the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ordered a transition to the three-digit code 9-8-8 for suicide prevention resources. Despite the fact that 988 is not in use as a local exchange in area code 807, the CRTC has ordered 10-digit local calling to be implemented by 31 May 2023. The CRTC's decision followed the decision of the US Federal Communications Commission to adopt 9-8-8 as the number for the US National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. (en)
  • L'indicatif régional 807 couvre la région nord-ouest de l'Ontario depuis 1962. De 1947 à 1957, ces points faisaient partie de la région 613 ; de 1957 à 1962 le territoire faisait partie de la région 705. La région 807 est divisée entre deux fuseaux horaires : l'heure centrale et l'heure de l'est. Elles servent des communautés comme Thunder Bay, Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, Rainy River, Marathon, et Greenstone. Les compagnies de téléphone titulaires dans la région sont Tbaytel, Bell Canada et Bell Aliant (comme propriétaire du Dryden Municipal Telephone Service). La région 807 est peu peuplée ; on a épuisé moins de 40 % des numéros disponibles au +1-807 et le CNAC estime qu'il y a assez de numéros 807 pour plusieurs décennies. Le plan de scission qui déplaçait le nord-ouest de l'Ontario de 705 en région 807 n'existait que pour faciliter le routage des appels arrivant du Manitoba et l'ouest canadien par les centrales téléphoniques peu sophistiqués de l'époque. La région 807 est maintenant la seule en Ontario où on peut faire des appels locaux à sept chiffres. (fr)
