How the 772 central office codes (exchanges) of area code 289 were allocated, from the North American Numbering Plan's records: to which carrier, as which line type. A 289 number is mobile, fixed line or VoIP according to its exchange, the three digits after the area code; the allocation is the original one (below).

Questions developers ask
- Where is area code 289?
- Area code 289 is in Ontario, Canada: all 772 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 289, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 289 number mobile or landline?
- Either: in the North American Numbering Plan the line type belongs to the exchange (the three digits after the area code), not to the area code. Of the 772 exchanges on record in 289, 191 (25%) were allocated as mobile, 421 (55%) as fixed line and 160 (21%) as VoIP. A number can have been ported since, to another carrier and even to another line type.
- Which carriers have numbers in area code 289?
- 18 carriers hold exchanges in 289 on record; the most: Telus (134), Rogers (109) and Fibernetics (89). These are the original allocations: with number portability, a number may be served by another carrier today, which only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) can tell.
- How do I validate a 289 phone number?
- In E.164 a 289 number matches ^\+1289[2-9]\d{6}$: +1, the area code, a central office code that does not start with 0 or 1, then four digits. Written nationally it reads (289) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
