Area Code 382

Area code 382 is one of the newest NANP area codes

Area code 382 is one of the most recently added codes in the North American Numbering Plan, in service since June 17, 2023. It is an overlay that shares its territory with 226, 519, 548, adding fresh numbers as those codes fill up. Existing numbers in the area keep their codes; only new phone lines may be issued a 382 number.

Because 382 is new and unfamiliar, some people are wary when it appears on caller ID and search for “who called me from 382?” An area code only shows where a number is registered, and any number can be spoofed — so a 382 call is not suspicious on its own. Judge each call by what it asks for, not the code. Is a call from 382 a scam?

Is a call from area code 382 a scam?

A 382 number is geographically tied to Ontario, but caller ID can be spoofed, so the displayed area code does not prove where a caller really is. If you did not expect the call, do not share personal information and consider looking the number up.

Is 382 a country code?

No. 382 is a Canadian area code (a domestic 3-digit code), not a country code. The country (calling) code for Canada is +1, shared across the North American Numbering Plan. So a full 382 number written for international dialing looks like +1 382 followed by the 7-digit local number.
