Toronto, Ontario · EST/EDT (UTC-5) · Canada
Toronto and GTA overlay
Second Toronto overlay (after 416), introduced in 2001 primarily for mobile phones and VoIP lines. Toronto is Canada's largest city (population 2.9M city, 6.4M metro), financial capital, and home to the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). The 647 code is widely associated with newer Toronto businesses and mobile-first contacts.
Dial 1 + 647 + 7-digit number for calls from outside the area. 10-digit dialing is mandatory in this area due to overlay codes.
From outside Canada: dial your country's exit code + 1 + 647 + number. From most countries, the format is +1-647-XXX-XXXX.
Area code 647 is in EST/EDT (UTC-5). Business hours are typically 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM local time. Remember that clocks shift during DST (March–November).
While (647) is a legitimate area code, scammers can spoof any number. Never share personal info with unknown callers. Verify by calling the organization directly.
