Area code 705
Ontario, Canada
National (705) 555-0123, E.164 +17055550123
How the 769 central office codes (exchanges) of area code 705 were allocated, from the North American Numbering Plan's records: to which carrier, as which line type. A 705 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 705?
- Area code 705 is in Ontario, Canada: all 769 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 705, then the seven-digit number.
- Is a 705 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 769 exchanges on record in 705, 180 (23%) were allocated as mobile, 518 (67%) as fixed line and 71 (9%) 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 705?
- 21 carriers hold exchanges in 705 on record; the most: Bell (346), Rogers (89) and Telus (67). 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 705 phone number?
- In E.164 a 705 number matches ^\+1705[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 (705) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
