About the 226 area code
Phone numbers that start with 226 belong to Ontario, Canada, in a region that includes London, Windsor, Kitchener, and Guelph. Eastern time is kept throughout.
The code was activated in 2006 as an overlay on the 519 area, and 548 was subsequently added within the same boundaries. Together with 382, these codes make up one overlay complex, and ten-digit dialing is the rule for local calls.
Dialing note: 226 is part of an overlay complex with 382, 519, 548, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
