Toronto telephone exchange geography

See the Local calling guide to find which switch a prefix (NPA-NXX) belongs to.

CLLI (Common Language location identifier) codes identify elements of the North American telephone network. In Toronto (NPA 416), Bell Canada uses the following codes for central offices (exchanges) where switches are located. The area served by a central office is a wire centre. Rate centres are the basis of local calling areas and long distance charges.

The 2 Letter 5 Digit column shows current assignments of the 2L-5D named prefixes that have existed since the 1950s. Some wire centre boundaries and prefixes have changed over time. Most central offices now use additional prefixes.

The historical exchanges Agincourt, Don Mills, Islington, New Toronto, Scarborough, West Hill, Weston, and Willowdale were merged into the Toronto exchange in 1977.
