"items": [
{
"q": "How do I get an 807 number for my business?",
"a": "Book a demo of Bloom AI cloud telephony. Our team then confirms which 807 numbers are available and helps configure your line."
},
{
"q": "Can I keep my current 807 number?",
"a": "A porting request can be prepared for an eligible number. The transfer depends on validation of the number and required documents; the schedule is confirmed before migration."
},
{
"q": "Does the 807 area code have overlay codes, like Toronto's 416, 647 and 437?",
"a": "No. 807 has covered Northwestern Ontario alone since 1962. The region's number supply has stayed large enough that no overlay code has ever been added, unlike Ontario's bigger cities."
},
{
"q": "Do I need to be located in Thunder Bay or Kenora to use an 807 number?",
"a": "No. The number lives in the cloud: your team answers the 807 from anywhere, right in the app, whether they sit in the Eastern or Central time zone part of the region."
},
{
"q": "Can I send text messages from an 807 number?",
"a": "Yes. You call and text your customers from the same local number, and the full history stays centralized in Bloom AI."
},
{
"q": "How much does a local 807 number cost?",
"a": "Pricing depends on the selected plan and configuration. See Bloom AI pricing or book a demo for details in Canadian dollars."
},
{
"q": "How fast is my 807 number activated?",
"a": "Timing depends on number availability, account validation and any porting request. The Bloom AI team confirms the activation schedule during setup."
},
{
"q": "Do I need to dial ten digits for an 807 number?",
"a": "Yes. Ten-digit local dialing became mandatory across the 807 area in 2023, as part of a nationwide shift tied to the 9-8-8 crisis line. Every call now uses the area code plus the seven-digit number."
