rarely used, but serves some satellite phones in the Canadian high Arctic Canadian TWX service used area code 610 until 1992, when it was exchanged for 600. 2015: 622 was activated for Canadian non-geographic use

Almost all Toronto Bell Canada landlines have area code 416, with 647-numbers allocated disproportionately to a growing mobile telephone market and to competitive local exchange carriers, such as cable and voice-over-IP services. Telephone numbers are portable, with few exceptions for specific services such as pocket pagers.

These codes are used for fixed or mobile devices, and not assigned to rate centers. As addresses, they may or may not traverse the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Applications include the use as personal 500 numbers. Some carrier-specific services have used area code 700. In Canada, area code 600 is used for non-geographic applications.
The problem was exacerbated by Canada's inefficient system of number allocation. Unlike the United States, Canada does not use number pooling as a relief measure. Every competing carrier is assigned blocks of 10,000 telephone numbers, which correspond to a single central office prefix, in every rate centre in which it plans to offer service ...
