Dialling from and to Windsor
Because Windsor sits inside an overlay region with 4 overlapping area codes, callers must always dial 10 digits — even for calls between two phones on the same street. From outside Canada and the United States, dial your international access prefix, then +1, then the 10-digit number.
Mobile carriers in Windsor 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 Windsor, Ontario
Windsor is located in Ontario, Canada. Windsor is Canada's southernmost city, located directly across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan. It has long been a centre of the Canadian automotive industry. The city falls within the Eastern Time (EST/EDT, UTC-5/-4) time zone.
Numbers issued to subscribers in Windsor can come from any of the area codes assigned to the surrounding numbering plan area: 519, 226, 548, 382. With number portability now standard across all Canadian carriers, the area code attached to a Windsor 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 519 or 226 or 548 or 382, the caller is most likely either based in Windsor 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.
