Where is area code 683?

Area code 683 is in Ontario, Canada: all 81 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 683, then the seven-digit number.

Is a 683 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 81 exchanges on record in 683, 8 (10%) were allocated as mobile, 62 (77%) as fixed line and 11 (14%) as VoIP. A number can have been ported since, to another carrier and even to another line type.
