Coverage
Where does the 343 area code apply?
The 343 area code shares its entire territory with 613 — Ottawa and a wide stretch of Eastern Ontario, from Kingston and Belleville to Cornwall, Pembroke, Perth and Smiths Falls. It was introduced in 2010 as the first overlay on the historic 613 code, once new numbers there were running short.
A second overlay, 753, was added in 2022 as the region's needs kept growing. A 343 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony gives your business the same Ottawa-area local identity as a 613 number, wherever your team actually works from.

Same territory
613, 343 or 753: which should you choose?
All three area codes serve the same Ottawa-area complex. 343 was added in 2010 as the first overlay on the historic 613 code, and 753 followed in 2022 as demand kept growing. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
Why 343
Why choose a 343 number for your business?
343 was added to Ottawa's numbering plan in 2010, sharing the exact same territory as 613. It gives a business a contact point associated with the national capital region, without depending on the availability of the original code.
And because every call runs through Bloom AI, your local number becomes a sales lever: every conversation is analyzed, summarized and turned into a next step.
