The 683 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Ontario. Today, 683 is exclusively tied to Ontario, located at the heart of the province. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Toronto – the bustling heart of the province
Ottawa – the vibrant, diverse capital
Mississauga – a city known for its cultural diversity
Brampton – home to rich culture and community
For generations, 683 has represented Ontario pride, offering the best of provincial life with fast access to all regions.
The 683 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 683 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 683 area code covers all of Ontario, including:
Toronto
Ottawa
Mississauga
Brampton
and many more.
Getting a 683 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Ontario’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
