Coverage note

What the City Association Means

Hamilton is in the 289, 365, 742 and 905 Southern Ontario overlay complex.

Area codes identify numbering-plan areas, not a phone’s exact or current location. Wireless service, VoIP and number portability can separate a number from the subscriber’s physical location. Most populated Canadian regions now have several overlay codes with identical coverage, so ten-digit local dialling is required.
