The same three digits mean two different things depending on where the plus sign sits.
North American area code 249. Dialled as 1-249-XXX-XXXX within the North American Numbering Plan.
International dialling code for Sudan. A number starting +249 is a call to Sudan, charged at international rates — nothing to do with area code 249.
Caller ID often drops the plus sign, which is why the two are confused. If a number reached you as 1-249 it is North American; if it reached you as +249 it is Sudan.
Area code 249 serves Ontario, including Sudbury. It covers 29 cities across 0 counties, in the time zone.
Area code 249 observes time (UTC).
Our directory holds 7 caller reports covering 6 numbers in area code 249. A valid area code does not guarantee a legitimate caller, since numbers can be spoofed.
The largest places served by area code 249 are Sudbury, North Bay, Barrie, Timmins, Parry Sound, Espanola, Mattawa, Huntsville. In total it covers 29 cities across 0 counties.
A number in this area code is written +1 (249) XXX-XXXX in international format, or (249) XXX-XXXX domestically. The +1 is the country code shared by the United States, Canada and other NANP members.
Yes. Caller ID was built without verification, so a caller can display almost any number. Scammers often pick a number matching the area code of the person they are calling — known as neighbour spoofing — because a local-looking call is answered more often. The US industry response, STIR/SHAKEN, lets carriers sign and verify caller ID, but coverage is still incomplete.
Almost always neighbour spoofing: the caller fabricates a number sharing your area code, and sometimes your prefix, so the call looks like it comes from someone nearby. A matching area code is not evidence that the caller is local.
Report unwanted calls to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and add your number to the Do Not Call registry at donotcall.gov. Include the caller ID number even if you believe it was spoofed — regulators use the pattern of reports, not the individual number.
No. +249 is the international dialling code for Sudan, while 1-249 is a North American area code. The digits match by coincidence, and caller ID frequently omits the plus sign, which is why the two are mistaken for one another.
Different parts of this page carry different levels of reliability. Here is what each one rests on.
About the caller reports: these were submitted by members of the public and are not verified. They record what a caller ID displayed and what the recipient made of the call — they are not proof of who owns a number, and because caller ID can be faked, a reported number may have nothing to do with the person actually calling.
