Canada phone number types

The first digits of a Canada number show what kind of number it is and what it costs to call. Free numbers, local-rate numbers, mobiles and premium-rate numbers each have their own prefix.

The prefix tells you how a number was issued, not who is calling. Scam calls use every kind of number, so look up the full number.
