Next step
A 807 number tells you where it was issued, not what it is now.
Mobiles, landlines and VoIP lines share area codes, and numbers move between carriers. A live line-type and carrier lookup on every number in your list says which is which, and that decides which calling and texting rules apply. It's in the phone add-on.

Area code 807 questions
- What province is area code 807?
- Area code 807 is in Ontario, Canada. Its largest exchange areas by number of prefixes are Thunder Bay, Kenora, Fort Frances, Dryden and Marathon.
- What time zone is area code 807 in?
- Eastern Time and Central Time. The code crosses a time zone line, so the local time depends on where in the area the number was issued.
- Does area code 807 have an overlay?
- Not as of NANPA's file dated 10/16/2026. Every number in its area uses 807.
- When did area code 807 start?
- Area code 807 went into service on January 1, 1962.
- Is an 807 number a cell phone or a landline?
- The area code can't tell you. In the US and Canada mobiles, landlines and VoIP lines share area codes and prefixes, and numbers move between carriers and line types. Only a live line-type lookup answers it for one number.
- How many phone numbers does area code 807 have?
- 293 of its 792 possible prefixes are in service, and each prefix holds up to 10,000 numbers. That counts prefixes assigned to carriers, not numbers in use.
- Does a valid format mean a 807 number is in service?
- No. A format check only says the digits fit the North American Numbering Plan and that 807 is an assigned code. It cannot tell whether the number is connected, who answers it or which carrier serves it today, because numbers are reassigned and ported. A live carrier lookup reports the current carrier and line type, but even that is not proof someone answers.
- Can I check a list of 807 numbers for free?
- Yes. Paste them in the list tab above or upload a CSV to the bulk phone number validator: format, E.164, country and the numbering-plan line type are free for every row, with no account. Live carrier and line-type lookups come with Pro + Phone at $49.99/mo (5,000 a month).
