Area Code 613

Area Code 613 History:

01/01/1947
Area code 613 was officially put into service. In 1953 area code 613, along with area code 416, was split to form area code 519. In 1957 area code 613, along with area code 519, was split to form area code 705. On 05/17/2010 Area code 343 was implemented as an area code overlay of area code 613. Ten-digit dialing is required in area code 613.

Area code 753 was put into service as an all services overlay covering the two existing area code overlays (343 and 613) on 03/26/2022. Ten digit dialing is necessary in the 343/613/753 overlay because different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code. Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary when two or more area codes cover the same geographic area.
