Telephone

​​There are a number of choices for accessing telephone services in Ontario, such as a home telephone, a cell (mobile) or using public telephones. Most of Simcoe County resides in the 705 area code; a portion is also in the 905 area code. These area codes cover a large portion of central and northern Ontario, so some calls to these areas may be considered long-distance. A long-distance telephone call usually means additional charges apply.​​

Home Telephone

The fees for home telephone services vary, depending on the specific services and rate-plans you choose; it is a good idea to talk to a sales representative about specific details before you sign a service contract.
