Dialling from and to Timmins
Because Timmins sits inside a single-NPA region, callers may still be able to use 7-digit local dialling, though 10-digit dialling is universally accepted. From outside Canada and the United States, dial your international access prefix, then +1, then the 10-digit number.
Mobile carriers in Timmins typically issue numbers from whichever overlay code is currently being released by the NANP relief plan. As a result, two members of the same household frequently carry numbers from two different area codes — for example a long-time resident with an original-assignment number and a newer subscriber with an overlay number.

About Timmins, Ontario
Timmins is located in Ontario, Canada. Timmins is a major mining city in Northeastern Ontario, founded around the gold deposits of the Porcupine Camp. The city falls within the Eastern Time (EST/EDT, UTC-5/-4) time zone.
Numbers issued to subscribers in Timmins can come from any of the area codes assigned to the surrounding numbering plan area: 705. With number portability now standard across all Canadian carriers, the area code attached to a Timmins number tells you only where that number was first issued — not who currently carries it or where the device is physically located.
If you are trying to identify a recent call from 705, the caller is most likely either based in Timmins or another community within the same NPA, has previously held a number issued in this area, or — in the case of telemarketing and scam calls — is spoofing a local prefix to increase the chance you pick up.
