Area code 709

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

National (709) 555-0123, E.164 +17095550123

How the 630 central office codes (exchanges) of area code 709 were allocated, from the North American Numbering Plan's records: to which carrier, as which line type. A 709 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 709?
Area code 709 is in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: all 630 of its exchanges on record are there. From abroad it is dialled +1 709, then the seven-digit number.
Is a 709 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 630 exchanges on record in 709, 135 (21%) were allocated as mobile, 454 (72%) as fixed line and 41 (7%) 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 709?
9 carriers hold exchanges in 709 on record; the most: Bell (367), Eastlink (120) and Telus (57). 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 709 phone number?
In E.164 a 709 number matches ^\+1709[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 (709) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
