This is a Canadian area code. Calls between the US and Canada are dialed like domestic calls (1 + 10 digits), but some US phone plans charge them as international calls. Overlay: the same area is also served by area codes 683 and 705, so local calls need all 10 digits.

An area code does not prove where the caller is. People keep their number when they move or switch carriers, internet phone (VoIP) services hand out numbers in any area code, and scammers often fake a local area code (neighbor spoofing) to get you to pick up.
