249 Area Code Details

249 Area Code: A Piece of Ontario History

The 249 area code was created as a split from the original 249 that once covered all of Ontario. Today, 249 is exclusively tied to Ontario, covering iconic neighborhoods like:

Toronto – the bustling heart of the province

Ottawa – the vibrant, diverse capital city

Mississauga – known for its diverse population and urban life

Brampton – a rapidly growing city in the Greater Toronto Area

Hamilton – rich in culture and history

For generations, 249 has represented Ontario pride, offering the best of provincial life with fast access to all regions.

The 249 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) – the same time zone as Ontario. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 249 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.

Areas Served by the 249 Code

The 249 area code covers all of Ontario, including:

Toronto

Ottawa

Mississauga

Brampton

Hamilton

and many more.
