The exchange patterns follow the original allocations; a number ported since keeps its digits but not necessarily its carrier or its line type.

Questions developers ask

Where is area code 753?
Area code 753 is in Ontario (110 exchanges) and Quebec (1 exchange), Canada: its 111 exchanges on record are split between them. From abroad it is dialled +1 753, then the seven-digit number.
Is a 753 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 111 exchanges on record in 753, 19 (17%) were allocated as mobile, 61 (55%) as fixed line and 31 (28%) 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 753?
8 carriers hold exchanges in 753 on record; the most: Rogers (30), ISP Telecom (24) and Fibernetics (18). 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 753 phone number?
In E.164 a 753 number matches ^\+1753[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 (753) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP.
