- Area code 613
Area code 613 is an
area code forOttawa , Kingston, and surrounding southeastern Ontario,Canada . It used to bound 514 before 450 was created, and until 1993 area code 416 before the introduction ofarea code 905 . 613 also originally covered most of southwestern Ontario, and all of northern Ontario, until 1953, when portions of it and 416 were combined to formarea code 519 . In 1957, parts of 519 and 613 formed the 705 code. 613 is one of the original 86 area codes assigned for the US and Canada in October 1947.Ten-digit dialing in the area became mandatory on
October 21 ,2006 . The Ottawa area has local dialing capability with the Gatineau region inarea code 819 . The Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area formerly had "exchange protection", meaning that an exchange assigned in Ottawa could not also be assigned in Gatineau, and vice versa. With the introduction of 10-digit dialing, this protection will be discontinued, although the local dialing capability will be maintained.It is expected that by September 2011 [ [http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=2b91bada-4613-47c3-991c-7c78afffbca3 Hey, Ottawa, we've got your number: 343 ] ] , a second area code will be added in the region as the 613 area code exhausts. The new area code 343 was proposed as an overlay in 2007. [http://www.cnac.ca/npa_codes/relief/613/documents/Draft_NPA_613_PD_4_DEC_2007.doc] The plan, confirming 343 as the new overlay code, was approved by the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission onSeptember 10 ,2008 . [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2008/dt2008-89.htm Telecom Decision CRTC 2008-89] ]The main incumbent local exchange carrier in 613 is
