Area codes 905, 289, and 365 are
overlay area codes in the
North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for
southern Ontario, Canada. The plan area includes the
Niagara Peninsula,
Hamilton,
Oshawa, and the suburban
Greater Toronto Area. Area code 905 was assigned on October 4, 1993, as a
split from
area code 416. 289 was overlaid on June 9, 2001; since then, all local calls have required
ten-digit dialling. On April 13, 2010, the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced another overlay code for this area, 365. It became operational on March 25, 2013.
