905 is a Canadian area code in service since 1993. It covers the Greater Toronto Area and runs on Eastern Time (UTC-5, UTC-4 in summer).
A call from a 905 number you do not know usually comes from Mississauga 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 905 number from Canada or the United States, dial all ten digits: 905 then the seven digits of the number. From abroad, add the country code: +1 905.
Area code 905 covers the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Markham and Oshawa. It overlays 289 and 365: the same area can have any of them, and ten-digit dialling is required. The belt works in Toronto and sleeps at home: many calls come in on the move, and a missed call is not always repeated.
A 905 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 905?
905 serves the Greater Toronto Area, mainly Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Markham and Oshawa.
Can I get a 905 number without living there?
Yes. A 905 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 905 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 905 number sends and receives texts, and an AI agent can answer them.
How is this different from a toll-free number?
A 905 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 905 area code?
Area code 905 runs on Eastern Time (UTC-5, UTC-4 in summer). Mississauga keeps the same time as the rest of the region.
A 905 number called me, who is it?
A 905 number comes from the Greater Toronto Area. It may be a shop, a clinic or a person in Mississauga. 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 905 and 289?
None on the map: 905 and 289 cover the same territory. 905 was added when the other ran out of numbers. Both are dialled with ten digits and cost the same.
