Coverage
Where does the 705 area code apply?
The 705 area code covers a wide stretch of northern and central Ontario, including Sudbury, North Bay, Barrie, Peterborough, Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins and Orillia. It was created in 1957 by splitting territory off from area codes 613 and 519.
In 1962, the northwestern part of 705 split off to form area code 807, while the Peterborough area moved into 705 from 416. Overlay codes 249 (2011) and 683 (2022) were later added on the same territory as demand grew. A 705 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony keeps your business reachable across the region, wherever your team is based.

705, 249 or 683: which should you choose?
All three area codes cover the same region. 705 is the original code from 1957; 249 and 683 were added as overlays in 2011 and 2022 as numbers ran short. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
Why 705
Why choose a 705 number for your business?
705 is a code Northern Ontario has known since 1957. It gives a business a contact point associated with cities across the region — from Sudbury to Barrie to Peterborough — even when the team isn't based in any single one of them.
And because every call runs through Bloom AI, that regional number becomes a sales lever: every conversation is analyzed, summarized and turned into a next step, no matter which town your customer is calling from.
