Purpose and Usage
Area code 622 was established in 2015 to serve special telecommunications needs rather than traditional geographic regions. This code is specifically reserved for advanced communication services including:
- Cellular satellite services – Supporting satellite-based mobile communications
- ISDN services – Integrated Services Digital Network applications
- Other specialized telecommunications – Various non-traditional communication technologies
Unlike standard area codes that serve specific cities or provinces, area code 622 operates as a non-geographical code, meaning it can be used anywhere within Canada for qualifying services. This flexibility allows telecommunications providers to offer specialized services without being constrained by traditional geographic boundaries.
The implementation of this area code reflects Canada’s commitment to supporting advanced telecommunications infrastructure and emerging communication technologies across the country.
