306 is a Canadian area code in service since 1947. It covers Saskatchewan and runs on Central Time year-round (UTC-6, no daylight saving).
A call from a 306 number you do not know usually comes from Saskatoon or nearby: a shop, a clinic, a courier, a customer. The area code says nothing about the caller's intent. If a call looks suspicious, let it go to voicemail and check the number before calling back. Businesses that show their name on the call (caller ID) get called back more often.
To reach a 306 number from Canada or the United States, dial all ten digits: 306 then the seven digits of the number. From abroad, add the country code: +1 306.
Area code 306 covers Saskatchewan, including Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw. It overlays 639: the same area can have any of them, and ten-digit dialling is required. Saskatchewan does not change its clocks. Twice a year the gap with the rest of the country shifts without you doing anything.
A 306 number tells your customer you are local. That is what gets you answered: a call from an unfamiliar area code often goes to voicemail unheard.
Frequently asked questions
Where is area code 306?
306 serves Saskatchewan, mainly Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw.
Can I get a 306 number without living there?
Yes. A 306 number can be set up from anywhere in Canada and works on your current phone, with no new device or SIM.
How long before it works?
The number is live as soon as the account is created. Your first call can come in within the minute.
Can I move my existing 306 number?
Yes, porting is included in all plans. It takes 5 to 10 business days, and a temporary number is assigned during the transition.
Can I text from this number?
Yes. The same 306 number sends and receives texts, and an AI agent can answer them.
How is this different from a toll-free number?
A 306 number roots you in a region and reassures a local customer. A toll-free number speaks to the whole country without saying where you are. Many businesses take both.
What time is it in the 306 area code?
Area code 306 runs on Central Time year-round (UTC-6, no daylight saving). Saskatoon keeps the same time as the rest of the region.
A 306 number called me, who is it?
A 306 number comes from Saskatchewan. It may be a shop, a clinic or a person in Saskatoon. The area code alone does not tell you who is calling or whether the call is genuine: when in doubt, let it ring and check the number before calling back.
What is the difference between 306 and 639?
None on the map: 306 and 639 cover the same territory. 639 was added when the other ran out of numbers. Both are dialled with ten digits and cost the same.
