An area code is generally too vague of an area to look at. We look at NPA-NXX, otherwise known as the first six digits of a phone number. NPA-NXX determines what rate centre (city) the number is located in. Then we can see if it's on the free calling list or not.

Please provide more details and we'll be glad to assist.

Thanks for the quick reply.
The forwarding number is 587-782-XXXX.
Is this on the free list?
