Who holds these numbers

Bell Canada holds the largest share at 18 prefixes, 20.2% of the total, ahead of 20 other carriers. Code by code: in 613, Bell Canada leads with 17 of 51 prefixes ahead of 11 others; in 343, Iristel Inc. leads with 4 of 23 prefixes ahead of 14 others; in 753, Iristel Inc. leads with 5 of 9 prefixes ahead of 4 others; in 902, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Wireless) leads with 1 of 5 prefixes ahead of 4 others; TELUS Integrated Communications is the only holder in 782. No carrier holds prefixes in every one of Kingston’s 5 area codes, while 11 appear in just one.

Wireless and wireline

32 of Kingston’s 89 prefixes (36.0%) are held by carriers whose registered name marks a wireless business: Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Wireless), Bell Mobility, TELUS Mobility and Fido Solutions Inc. Wireline prefixes still outnumber them, carried by Bell Canada, Iristel Inc, TELUS Integrated Communications and Fibernetics Corporation. This is a sort by name, not a licence lookup, and a mobile prefix may have been ported to another network since.

How the allocation was built up

Kingston’s dated assignments run from 2000 to 2026. The busiest period was 2005–2009, when 16 prefixes went to 11 carriers. 25 prefixes (28%) carry no date in the register: these are the historic pre-1999 assignments, the wireline bedrock of the rate centre. Since 2020 another 13 prefixes have been added, so the rate centre is still growing.

Kingston’s oldest prefixes, the ones the register leaves undated, belong to Bell Canada, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Wireless) and TELUS Mobility: 5 carriers made up the landscape before competition arrived. The first dated assignment went to TELUS Mobility in 2000. The most recent arrivals are IXICA Communications Inc. (2026), Cogeco Connexion Inc. (2025) and InnSysVoice Corp (2018), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in Kingston.

Kingston’s 89 prefixes provide 890,000 numbers, which corresponds to a mid-sized city or a well-established suburb that every major carrier wants a slice of.

No single carrier dominates Kingston: the leader, Bell Canada, holds only 20.2% of the prefixes against 20 competitors, a sign of a highly fragmented market where cable companies, mobility brands and VoIP providers weigh as much as the incumbent.

Demand remains steady: 20.3% of the dated prefixes go back to the last ten years, the most active period being 2005–2009. The rate centre is growing at a regular rather than explosive pace.

The register also shows 1 prefix assigned but not yet in service in Kingston (TELUS Mobility): numbers that will start showing up on call displays in the coming months.

Dialling a Kingston number

Kingston is served by 5 overlaid area codes (613, 343, 753, 902 and 782). A 782 number is no more “out of town” than a 613 one; from abroad, dial +1 and the full ten digits.

The numbering neighbourhood

Kingston shares area codes 613, 343, 753, 902 and 782 with at least 20 other rate centres, including Ottawa-Hull, Halifax, Belleville, Charlottetown, Cornwall, Sydney, Kanata-Stittsville and Brockville. The largest of them, Ottawa-Hull, holds 442 prefixes in 343, 613 and 753; the smallest on the list, Yarmouth, has just 21.

What a Kingston number tells you

A number attached to Kingston tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Ontario, most often Bell Canada. It does not tell you where the handset is today: a subscriber may have ported the number to any of the 21 carriers present here or to a VoIP service usable anywhere. Nor does it tell you who is calling: caller ID can be spoofed, and an Ontario area code is easy to borrow to look local.

Reading a register entry for Kingston: code 613-384 is recorded for Bell Canada, so every 613-384-XXXX number (10,000 possible) descends from that assignment. “Kingston, Ontario” there names a rate centre, not a municipality, and several area codes overlay it.

Had a call from a Kingston number?

No clear pattern in reports on these numbers yet. If a call worried you:

1. Call back on a number you trust

   If a caller says they are your bank, the Canada Revenue Agency, a courier or your phone company, hang up and call the organization on the number from its website or your statement, never the number that called you. Caller ID can be faked.

2. Report the fraud

   Report the call or text to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online or at 1-888-495-8501. If you lost money or gave out personal details, tell your bank first, then your local police.

3. Register on the National Do Not Call List

   Registering a landline or mobile on the National DNCL is free. Registered charities, political parties, newspapers and companies you already do business with may still call.

4. Forward suspicious texts to 7726

   Forward a scam or spam text to 7726 (SPAM on the keypad). It's free, and your carrier uses it to block the sender. Don't tap links or reply.
